ABSTRACT:
The invention concerns a vehicle having a deflecting surface (6) attached to the vehicle in front of at least one front place (4, 5), which is concave with a concavity facing forwards, which extends overall at least essentially in the transverse direction of the said vehicle so as to receive a relative air current (10) when the vehicle is moving, and which has an upper trailing edge pointing upwards; and at least one wing (7) fixed in the relative air current (10) immediately upstream, facing and adjacent to the deflecting surface (6). The deflecting surface (6) and the wing(s) (7) extend below the lower horizontal plane (8) passing through the standard zone (11) in which the eyes are situated and are adapted to form an air flow (9) deflected upwards able to act as an air screen in front of the said standard zone (11) in which the eyes are situated in which the air is at least essentially still.
