Code interpretation

Define dom, the container contains 1 .car element, and its 2 sub-elements represent Body and wheels:

<figure>
    <div>
        <span></span>
        <span></span>
    </div>
</figure>

Centered display:

body {
    margin: 0;
    height: 100vh;
    display: flex;
    align-items: center;
    justify-content: center;
    background-color: #333;
}

Define container size and car color:

.loader {
    width: 11.7em;
    height: 4.2em;
    color: lightcyan;
    position: relative;
}

Draw chassis:

.car {
    position: absolute;
    width: inherit;
    height: 2em;
    background-color: currentColor;
    top: 1.5em;
    border-radius: 0 5em 1em 0 / 0 4em 1em 0;
}

Draw tail Ji:

.car::before {
    content: '';
    position: absolute;
    width: 0;
    height: 0;
    border: 0.6em solid transparent;
    border-left-width: 0;
    border-right-color: currentColor;
    transform-origin: left;
    transform: rotate(-45deg);
    top: -0.5em;
}

(It looks a bit like an airplane at this time, haha~~)

Draw the car body:

.body {
    position: absolute;
    width: 7.5em;
    height: 3.5em;
    box-sizing: border-box;
    border: 0.4em solid;
    border-radius: 3em 4.5em 0 0 / 3em 4em 0 0;
    top: -1.5em;
    left: 1.2em;
}

Use pseudo elements to draw the windows:

.body::before {
    content: '';
    position: absolute;
    width: 3.5em;
    height: inherit;
    background-color: currentColor;
    border-top-left-radius: inherit;
    left: -0.4em;
    top: -0.4em;
}

Draw the outline of the wheel:

.wheels::before,
.wheels::after {
    content: '';
    position: absolute;
    box-sizing: border-box;
    width: 2.6em;
    height: 2.6em;
    background-color: #333;
    border-radius: 50%;
    bottom: -1em;
}

Draw the wheel hub:

.wheels::before,
.wheels::after {
    border: 0.3em solid #333;
    background-image: 
        linear-gradient(
            135deg,
            transparent 45%,
            currentColor 46%, currentColor 54%,
            transparent 55%
        ),
        linear-gradient(
            90deg,
            transparent 45%,
            currentColor 46%, currentColor 54%,
            transparent 55%
        ),
        linear-gradient(
            45deg,
            transparent 45%,
            currentColor 46%, currentColor 54%,
            transparent 55%
        ),
        linear-gradient(
            0deg,
            transparent 45%,
            currentColor 46%, currentColor 54%,
            transparent 55%
        ),
        radial-gradient(
            currentColor 29%,
            transparent 30%, transparent 50%,
            currentColor 51%
        );
}

Position the wheels to the left and right sides:

.wheels::before {
    left: 1.2em;
}

.wheels::after {
    right: 0.8em;
}

Next, create the animation effect.

Add the dom element that represents the wind shadow .strikes, which contains 5 sub-elements:

<figure>
    <p>
        <span></span>
        <span></span>
    </p>
    <p>
        <span></span>
        <span></span>
        <span></span>
        <span></span>
        <span></span>
    </p>
</figure>

Draw 5 short thin lines:

.strikes {
    position: absolute;
    width: 1em;
    height: inherit;
    border: 1px dashed white;
    display: flex;
    flex-direction: column;
    justify-content: space-between;
}

.strikes span {
    height: 0.1em;
    background-color: lightcyan;
}

Add the animation effect of the passing wind shadow, define css variables, and set the animation delay:

.strikes span {
    animation: drift 0.2s linear infinite;
    animation-delay: calc((var(--n) - 1) * 0.05s);
}

@keyframes drift {
    from {
        transform: translate(3.5em);
    }

    to {
        transform: translate(-8em);
        filter: opacity(0);
    }
}

.strikes span:nth-child(1) {
    --n: 1;
}

.strikes span:nth-child(2) {
    --n: 2;
}

.strikes span:nth-child(3) {
    --n: 3;
}

.strikes span:nth-child(4) {
    --n: 4;
}

.strikes span:nth-child(5) {
    --n: 5;
}

Add the animation effect of wheel rotation:

.wheels::before,
.wheels::after {
    animation: rotating 0.5s linear infinite;
}

@keyframes rotating {
    to {
        transform: rotate(1turn);
    }
}

Add the animation effect of body bumps:

.car {
    animation: run 0.25s linear infinite;
}

@keyframes run {
    0% {
        transform: translate(0.2em, 0.1em) rotate(0deg);
    }

    20% {
        transform: translate(0.1em, 0.2em) rotate(1deg);
    }

    40% {
        transform: translate(0.1em, -0.1em) rotate(-1deg);
    }

    60% {
        transform: translate(-0.1em, 0.2em) rotate(0deg);
    }

    80% {
        transform: translate(-0.1em, 0.1em) rotate(1deg);
    }

    100% {
        transform: translate(0.2em, 0.1em) rotate(-1deg);
    }
}

Done!
