dc.description.abstract In gross, burning a certain amount of fuel in the similar environmental scenario if a vehicle can move more with respect to other vehicle is said to be more fuel efficient. This fuel efficiency certainly has dependency on the drag experienced by the vehicle. So if the drag on the vehicle can be reduced, automatically the fuel efficiency of the vehicle will be increased. There are two way to control the drag, passive and active control. To test the effectiveness of the drag control can be done either through simulation or by direct testing. In this research a passive control is used, inserting some additional shape on the small covered van and is tested through simulation. Three different shapes have been added in the simulation to get idea to reduce drag. For the simulation purpose a CFD software has been used and the result supplied by the software is presented as the result. It has been found that using this passive strategy the drag is reduced. Thus by introducing of some modification the fuel efficiency can be increased. en_US
