Vehicle has wedge shaped frontal structure for urging the fluid through which it travels to pass solely along the vehicle side with minimal or zero turbulence. A visor on the structure further prevents the fluid contacting the front of the vehicle from flowing upwardly and across the vehicle\s roof in turbulent fashion. The wedge may be placed above the driver enclosure, the forward vertical edge formed by the convergence of the wedge sides, being forwards of the driver enclosure.

An energy-saving vehicle, comprising: a vehicle including a first aerodynamic means for urging the fluid through which the vehicle moves to flow along the sides of said vehicle; said vehicle including an enclosure for a driver of said vehicle; said first aerodynamic means having a forward most portion positioned forward of the forward most portion of said enclosure for said driver of said vehicle; said first aerodynamic means having a rearward most portion posterior to the rearward most portion of said enclosure for a driver; the forward most portion of said first aerodynamic means includes a vertical wedge having a first wall and a second wall converging towards the front end of the vehicle to a vertical edge positioned forward of the forward most position of said driver enclosure; said first aerodynamic includes a visor, said visor spanning and extending exteriorly of said converging walls whereby said fluid is urged to flow only along the sides of said vehicle, and flow of said fluid over the top of said vehicle and under said vehicle is minimized; and said first aerodynamic means defines an enclosed space.
