ABSTRACT:
The exterior of a vehicle, e.g. the roof of a land vehicle such as a tractor trailer cab, trailer, truck, bus, auto, van, rail car or the like, is provided with exposed moving surface, which moves relatively rearwardly, relatively more quickly than the vehicle progresses. As a result the vehicle may be made to bear more lightly on the ground, so that more weight may be transported. In a preferred embodiment the moving surface is constituted by the exposed upper run of an endless band entrained about fore and aft rollers provided with a driving mechanism e.g. for rotating at least one of the rollers. The lower run of the band may be hidden. Controls are described.
