A quick google suggests the average truck driver drives 160-180km a year. This means that this provides an extra ~3% fuel efficiency for a lot of overhead and complexity. Trailer skirts save an estimated 4-8%.
I’m not saying it’s an either/or because you can have both, but it does seem like this is potentially overly complex for minimal gains.
