The present invention relates to a self-adjusted side fairing assembly including a first side faring, a second side fairing, and biasing members. The first side fairing is adapted to be located at a trailing edge of a body on a lead vehicle. The second side fairing is adapted to be located at an opposing trailing edge of the body on the lead vehicle. The first and second side fairings have self-adjusting directional airflow characteristics in response to windward side and leeward side crosswind characteristics. The first and second side fairings are adapted so that trailing ends of the first and second side fairings pivot outward due to the effect of a high external pressure that is greater than high pressure threshold and generated by windward side crosswind characteristics.
