The aero-floor
not only contributes to improved aero-
dynamics.
It was also possible to reduce the noise level
by approx. 3 dB (A).
The engine compartment noise insu-
lation does not form part of the aero-
floor.
Part of the additional costs generated by the
aero-floor could be compensated by dispens-
ing with certain panelling components as
well as by dispensing with PVC protection of
the underside of the vehicle. The latter is of
advantage during recycling.
The aero-floor was designed so as to guaran-
tee ground clearance and resistance to stone
impact and to prevent accumulation of dirt,
stones and snow.
