Advanced Transit Dynamics, Inc. (ATDynamics) is dedicated to the rapid commercialization of fuel efficiency technology for the global freight industry. ATDynamics' flagship product, the TrailerTail® , will deliver hundreds of millions of gallons of fuel savings annually to long-haul trucking fleets. A Silicon Valley based firm started in 2006, ATDynamics is working with leading fleet operators to ensure that their investments in fuel efficiency technology will deliver significant cost advantages over their competition. Bringing Fuel Savings to Competitive Fleets As NASA aerodynamicists have understood for decades, the low pressure system created at the tail end of a tractor-trailer creates as much aerodynamic drag as wind resistance at the front of the vehicle. The rear-mounted ATDynamics TrailerTail® delivers more than 5% fuel efficiency gains at highway speeds, provides improved vehicle safety and handling, and does not interfere with trucking operations. High oil prices, a competitive market environment, and global warming require that competitive fleets improve the aerodynamics of their trailers. In the early 1980's trucks tended to be boxy, un-aerodynamic shapes. Now, every competitive fleet employs streamlined cabs at the front of their trailers. ATDynamics is working with fleet partners, trailer manufacturers and shippers to drive the same efficiency revolution at the tail end of the tractor-trailer. We invite you to explore our website and contact
us to learn more. TrailerTails® will be launched commercially in
partnership with select fleet operators in 2008. Advanced Transit Dynamics, Inc. (ATDynamics) was founded in 2006 to rapidly commercialize patented rear-drag reduction technology for tractor trailers. The company has grown to have the engineering capabilities and industry relationships to bring a rapidly growing portfolio of fuel-saving technologies to market. The management team has received multiple awards for business excellence including 1st place out of 250 teams in the world's largest business plan competition at Rice University Graduate School of Management in Houston, TX and 2nd place out of 109 teams competing in the Global Social Venture Competition hosted by Columbia University in New York. In 2007, the ATDynamic's engineering team won the Most Innovative Product Award in CleanTech from CONNECT in San Diego. The company is headquartered in South San Francisco, CA with company advisors located in Arizona, California, Michigan, New Hampshire, New York, Tennessee, Texas and the Netherlands.

ATDynamics was established with the goal of reducing global oil dependence and demonstrating sustainable business practices. The company's employees, advisors, and investors are committed to addressing global environmental issues: from slowing climate change to protecting the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge from unneccesary oil extraction. The solution to high oil prices in the trucking industry is not to drill more oil but for competitive fleets to use less of it. Opportunities for Leading Fleet Operators Environmentally aware fleet operators are faced with a promising business opportunity. In addition to projected fuel savings of $1,000 to $5,000 per year per long-haul trailer, initial fleets adopting TrailerTails® technology have significant green marketing opportunities. ATDynamics offers initial customers "green supply chain" consulting services and membership to the "GreenShippers" customer network. The GreenShippers program offers facilitated introductions between fleet operators and shipping customers seeking environmentally sustainable supply chains. ATDynamics Product Lifecycle Program In its own operations, ATDynamics is implementing the ATDynamics Product Lifecycle Program. The Lifecycle Program allows customers to contact ATDynamics at the end of a product's useful life in exchange for discounts on next generation technology. This program allows ATDynamics to maintain long-term relationships with clients, save money by reusing materials in next generation devices and recycle any remaining materials. Next Steps ATDynamics looks forward to implementing programs which maximize the company's positive environmental impact. Please contact us with ideas, recommendations or opportunities to collaborate. At present, ATDynamics is collaborating with a team of MBA students from the Presidio School of Management to further analyze the sustainability of company operations. |
