The article reflects the milestones to improve the aerodynamic characteristics of KAMAZ vehicles. For each stage, applied methods are highlighted and the main results are formulated. It is shown that application of modern computer technology in combination with efficient software enables the optimization of aerodynamic characteristics of trucks with less material and time resources compared with the previously used methods of field tests and studies of scale models in wind tunnels.
