Large Caravan, Greater Range in Consumption Test: Why Aerodynamics Beat Weight
Original source: PROMOBIL

Tests revealed that a larger and heavier Fendt Bianco caravan consumes less energy than a compact and light Next 380 when towed by the same vehicle. Aerodynamics proved to be the key factor: the caravan's shape impacts fuel consumption and range more than its mass, especially at speeds around 100 km/h. The tests were conducted at the Bosch proving ground in Boxberg using a Tesla Model Y electric car and a diesel Skoda Karoq.
