Active aerodynamics are a revolutionary technology that enables vehicles to dynamically adjust their interaction with the surrounding air. Toyota has recently obtained a patent for an innovative system designed to enhance the effectiveness of these active aero systems.

One of the challenges faced by automakers when implementing active aero technologies is the need to accommodate important vehicle components, such as the engine oil pan. To ensure optimal performance, manufacturers often have to modify the shape of the movable elements to navigate around these critical areas. Unfortunately, this can compromise the overall effectiveness of the active aero system.
