ABSTRACT:
In order to increase energy efficiency by reducing the drag experienced by tractor-trailers, vans, or similar motor vehicles, structure is incorporated in the rear surface or panel of the motor vehicle. The structure is implemented with a multiplicity of cavities or a multiplicity of protruding regions. The cavities or protruding regions each comprise only a small portion of the total area of the rear surface and the depth or extension dimension, relative to the rear surface or panel, is small. The rear surface structure permits convenient access to the interior of the vehicle and can be incorporated in either a rear door assembly or in a sliding rear panel assembly.
