Abstract

A streamline container for a van, comprises a base frame, two side panels and a front end panel mounted on the base frame via floor bearers, and a roof sheet mounted on the two side panels and the front end panel via roof bows. At the outside of the roof bow, there is provided a streamline angle-wrapping component protruding outwards for shunting the airflow. The angle-wrapping component is smoothly and transitionally connected with the roof bow. In the present invention, due to the streamline angle-wrapping component, it is possible to effectively shunt the airflow, significantly decrease the wind resistance during the running of the van and help to reduce the energy consumption of the van.
