What TruckLabs does
TruckLabs is a trucking technology company founded in 2014, headquartered in Phoenix, Arizona, that developed TruckWings, a tractor-mounted active aerodynamics device for Class 8 tractor-trailers. The product uses vehicle sensors to automatically close the tractor-trailer gap at highway speeds, reducing aerodynamic drag and fuel consumption. TruckWings is compatible across diesel, CNG, hydrogen fuel cell, and battery-electric powertrains, and is paired with cloud-connected telematics for uptime monitoring and a driver engagement software layer. The company was founded in 2014 and operated out of Redwood City, California before relocating to Phoenix, Arizona, aligning operations with trucking industry corridors and its eventual ConMet integration.
The company operates a hardware-plus-telematics business model, selling active aero hardware primarily to large commercial trucking fleets and generating recurring revenue from cloud telematics subscriptions and driver-facing software. Customers cited in source material include Ryder and Estes, with MVT Solutions referenced as a third-party testing and validation partner rather than a paying customer. Total disclosed equity funding across pre-seed through Series B rounds (2016 to 2023) is approximately $29 million, including a $15 million Series A in October 2021 led by Autotech Ventures with Calibrate Ventures and Uncork Capital, and an August 2023 Series B led by Blue Bear Capital with Calibrate Ventures and Team Builder Ventures. Headcount is in the 11-50 range.
TruckLabs has been acquired by ConMet (Consolidated Metco), a major commercial vehicle components manufacturer serving OEM and aftermarket channels across North America, Europe, and China, and now operates as a ConMet business unit. The company has reported a cumulative milestone of 1.5 billion miles of real-world TruckWings deployment across its installed fleet base, indicating meaningful commercial penetration. The acquisition extends TruckWings distribution beyond direct fleet sales into ConMet's established OEM, trailer manufacturer, and aftermarket channels, materially expanding the addressable market.

TruckLabs product offering
Product offeringCore offering
TruckLabs develops and sells TruckWings, a tractor-mounted active aerodynamic device that automatically closes the gap between tractor and trailer to reduce drag, paired with cloud-connected telematics for real-time uptime data and driver engagement software. The hardware is sold for new builds and retrofits (2-hour installation) to commercial trucking fleets, OEMs, and Tier 1 suppliers, delivering 3-6% proven fuel savings and 7-10 metric tons of CO2 reduction per truck annually.
Product overview
TruckLabs is a clean-technology company focused on trucking sustainability whose portfolio centers on a single flagship hardware product, TruckWings — a tractor-mounted aerodynamic device paired with cloud-connected telematics that closes the tractor-trailer gap to cut drag, deliver 3–6% fuel savings, and eliminate 7–10 metric tons of CO2 per truck annually. Alongside TruckWings, TruckLabs also develops driver engagement software for the trucking industry (referenced during its Series A raise), with the hardware-and-software pairing positioned to improve fuel efficiency and driver performance. The TruckWings technology has been deployed at scale (surpassing 1.5 billion miles of fleet usage) and is now commercialized through ConMet, which lists it among its efficiency-driven solutions.

TruckLabs competitors and assessment
Company assessmentBroad incumbents
- Samsara: Samsara is a leading fleet telematics and IoT platform with broad adoption across commercial trucking. While not an aerodynamic competitor, its connected-vehicle software overlaps with TruckLabs' telematics and driver engagement software layer.
- Geotab: Geotab is a major fleet telematics and connected-vehicle platform used by large trucking fleets. It overlaps with TruckLabs' cloud-connected uptime and fuel-efficiency data offering as an incumbent software/data alternative fleets already have installed.
- Volvo Trucks North America: Volvo Trucks (and peer OEMs Daimler Truck, PACCAR) increasingly integrate aerodynamic features directly into new tractor platforms, which competes with aftermarket TruckWings adoption by raising the baseline fuel-efficiency of new builds and limiting the addressable retrofit opportunity.
- Motive (formerly KeepTruckin): Motive is a broad fleet management and telematics platform for commercial trucking. It competes in the same fleet software budget pool as TruckLabs' driver engagement and telematics product and is often the system of record against which TruckLabs' data must integrate.
- SAF-HOLLAND: SAF-HOLLAND is a global commercial vehicle Tier 1 supplier of trailer axles, suspensions, and related efficiency-oriented components. As a ConMet peer in the Tier 1 supply channel, it represents the kind of OEM/Tier 1 buyer and integrator that TruckWings must continue to partner with for spec-in.
Direct peers
- Stemco: Stemco (a Roper Technologies company) sells trailer aerodynamics including the TrailerTail trailer-mounted boat tail, making it the closest direct competitor to TruckLabs' tractor-mounted TruckWings in the commercial trucking fuel-efficiency category.
- ATDynamics (acquired): ATDynamics was a pioneer in trailer-mounted aerodynamic tails for long-haul fleets (acquired by TriMas/Dia-Sem). It is the historical direct competitor whose market position TruckWings has effectively contested in the active and semi-active aero category.
- Wabash (Transtex): Wabash National acquired Transtex, a leading trailer aerodynamic skirt and inflatable aero solutions provider. Its EcoNomical and similar products target the same fleet ROI and emissions-reduction use case as TruckWings.
- Laydon Aero (a Truck-Lite brand): Laydon Aero, marketed by Truck-Lite (Clarience Technologies), produces boat-tail aerodynamic devices for trailers and tractors. It competes head-to-head with TruckWings for fleet fuel-efficiency spend and OEM spec-ins.
- AeroVolution: AeroVolution develops active aerodynamic devices for heavy-duty trucks, conceptually adjacent to TruckWings' active gap-closing approach, competing for similar fleet fuel-savings budgets.
