Abstract
A vehicle having a transverse panel and a transverse aerodynamic member, and a control unit. The transverse aerodynamic member is movable to an operating position in which it is spaced apart from the transverse panel. In that operating position, the transverse aerodynamic member is operable to direct airflow downwardly at the rear of the vehicle to control the vertical propagation of the wake formed behind the vehicle.
