Document Type and Number:

WIPO Patent Application WO/2015/064195

Kind Code:

A1

Abstract:

Provided are a vehicle capable of suppressing separation of an air flow from an outer surface of a vehicle body, the air flow being positively charged due to positive charging of the vehicle body, and a method of manufacturing the vehicle. A vehicle having a vehicle body (30) that is retained in an insulated state with respect to a road surface and that is positively charged by static electricity due to external factors including travelling is provided with a self-discharging static eliminator (12, 31) that decreases a positive potential of at least one specific location of a separating form where the positively charged air flow that flows around the vehicle body (30) as the vehicle travels begins to change from the flow along the surface of the charged vehicle body (30) to a flow separated from the surface, by neutralizing the positive charged by self-discharge that produces a negative air ion in accordance with the positive potential.
