Abstract
The invention is a splash and spray suppressor for a wheeled motor vehicle, especially for trucks. The splash and spray suppressor includes a wheel panel nested within the fender. Apertures in the wheel panel allow water droplets to flow into the gap between the wheel panel and the fender. Droplets then flow within the gap toward an opening from where the droplets are drained from the splash and spray suppressor.
