The Product
The Energy Flap replaces a standard mud flap with a certified aerodynamic performer — same mount, same installation time, dramatically different outcome. Every set pays for itself through fuel savings, extended durability, improved road safety, and compliance benefits.
The Case for Energy Flaps
Most mud flaps do one thing: catch spray. Energy Flaps deliver a four-way return on investment — and your fleet keeps collecting every dollar, every mile, every year. No moving parts. No driver interaction. Just performance.
ROI 01
Fuel Economy Improvement
4.2 gal saved per 1,000 mi — MVTS Certified™
Certified Fuel Savings
Engineered louver geometry channels airflow at the trailer rear — reducing drag where solid flaps create turbulence. MVTS Certified™ data, not marketing claims.
ROI 02
Longer Service Life
vs. standard solid flaps under real fleet conditions
Durability That Pays
Impact-modified polypropylene resists flex fatigue, temperature extremes, and road debris. Fewer replacements, less downtime, and lower maintenance cost per trailer.
ROI 03
Improved Road Visibility
Angled louvers direct water down, away from following drivers
Improved Road Safety
Graduated louver spacing redirects spray downward — out of sideview mirrors and windshields. Safer roads, reduced liability, and a fleet that leads by example.
ROI 04
Lower Cost Per Mile
Fuel + durability + compliance savings compound fleet-wide
Compounding Savings
Fuel savings. Fewer replacements. Reduced downtime. Every equipped trailer quietly cuts your cost-per-mile — all day, every day.
Engineered Aerodynamics
Energy Flaps aren't a passive piece of rubber. Every detail — from louver angle to mounting hole orientation — is engineered for aerodynamic performance, installation accuracy, and long-term durability in real fleet conditions.
Product Snapshot
Available in five sizes for 28' and 53' applications. Directional flaps — correct mounting orientation is required for aerodynamic performance. Always follow the current Energy Guard installation guide for correct fitment.

Directional flaps — incorrect installation reduces aerodynamic performance. Follow Energy Guard installation guide for orientation.
Actual on-road results may vary based on trailer configuration, route, and operating conditions. Savings estimate uses $3.80/gal and 125,000 mi/yr baseline.
Energy Guard's fuel savings are validated by Mesilla Valley Transportation Solutions (MVTS) — the trucking industry's recognized independent testing standard. Every test follows a controlled, repeatable methodology under real highway conditions. This is the same certification standard used to qualify products for CARB compliance verification. It's not a simulation. It's not a calculator. It's a peer-reviewed road test.
| Size | Width × Height | Best For | Trailer Type | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 24" × 30" Most Popular | 24" wide × 30" tall | 53' Dry Van & Reefer | Dry Van, Reefer | Standard rear axle coverage for most long-haul fleets |
| 18" × 30" | 18" wide × 30" tall | 28' Pup / Doubles | Pup Trailers, Doubles | MVTS Certified™ test configuration — strongest data set |
| 24" × 28" | 24" wide × 28" tall | Dry Van / Open Deck | Dry Van, Flatbed | Alternate coverage profile for lower clearance configurations |
| 24" × 24" | 24" wide × 24" tall | Open Deck / Specialty | Flatbed, Specialty | Compact option for non-standard applications |
| 18" × 27" | 18" wide × 27" tall | Pup / Tandem | 28' Pup, Tandem | Low-profile option for height-sensitive configurations |
The 24" × 30" covers the majority of 53' dry van and reefer applications. If you're running 28' pup trailers in tandem, the 18" × 30" is the MVTS-tested configuration. Contact our team and we'll confirm the right size for your specific trailer mix.
Estimates based on MVTS Certified™ 3.6% fuel economy improvement. Actual savings vary by fleet, route, and conditions. Contact sales for a fleet-specific ROI analysis.
Durability savings are additive to fuel savings — combined, they accelerate payback period and improve total cost of ownership across a multi-year horizon.
Tell us your trailer count, average annual mileage, and current fuel cost — our team will run a custom ROI analysis showing your exact savings and payback timeline. Most fleets are looking at less than a 12-month payback on Energy Flaps alone.
American Manufacturing
Energy Flaps are designed, engineered, and manufactured in the United States. That's not a marketing badge — it means tighter quality control, faster lead times, and a supply chain that doesn't leave your fleet waiting on overseas shipping delays.
Optional Add-On
Every Energy Flap can be upgraded with EnerLogo™ — a raised 3D logo molded directly into the flap at production. Not a decal. Not a sticker. Your fleet brand, built into every trailer, every mile. Available in full color. Never fades. Never peels.
Every Energy Flap is covered by Energy Guard's 2-Year Limited Warranty against defects in materials and workmanship. Because a flap that lasts 3–5 times longer than the competition deserves a warranty to match.
