Recently, the fuel price has been continuous to increase, as result of those producers of heavy vehicles to resort the impatient aerodynamic design of heavy vehicles such as trucks, wagons, tractors as well as trailers. In this study make comparsion analysis of the drag coefficient for semi-trailer with four models which are three types of diffuser and another typ without diffuser.(Malviya, et al, 2008) In this study, compute the drag force on the four models of the semi-trailer, and take the optimisation design of diffuser and compute the effect side wind with semi-trailer without diffuser. In this paper the drag coefficient has decresed to by diffuser.
