HAYWARD, Calif. — February 18, 2014: ATDynamics, the leading global supplier of semi-trailer rear-drag aerodynamics technology, today announced that Fritz Marinko, formerly Director of Auto Research Center, will be joining ATDynamics in a newly created position as Vice President of Special Accounts and a member of the executive team.
Marinko is an accomplished leader in the trucking, aerodynamic and government relations communities and will continue his engagements with the Trucking Maintenance Council, the Society of Automotive Engineers, the Truck Trailer Manufacturers Association as well as offer support to the US EPA.
“I started my career at ARC with the goal of educating the industry and improving the fuel economy of heavy duty vehicles via improved aerodynamics,” said Marinko. “At this point, the trucking industry understands the benefits of trailer skirt technology. The next substantial fuel savings opportunity for the industry is the full-scale adoption of rear-drag aerodynamics technology. I am proud to join the ATDynamics team in a role that allows me to continue to serve and educate the trucking industry on improving vehicle aerodynamics and fleet profitability.”
“TrailerTail® technology makes immediate economic sense for any trucking fleet whose trailers are pulled more than 25,000 miles per year at highway speed, which is the majority of the semi-trailers seen on the highway,” said Andrew Smith, CEO of ATDynamics. “We are pleased that Fritz will join us in our mission to change the shape of the modern semi-trailer and deliver over $20 billion in fuel savings to our customers over the next decade.”
Marinko holds a Bachelor’s degree in Mathematics and Statistics with a minor in Mechanical Engineering from Ohio State University.
