The "train double" (conventional B-Train*) developed by Trailor in the 1970s in response to an evolution of French road regulations, allowing for 2 short semi-trailers to be towed by a 2-axle tractor:    Note *: the French B-Train, which appeared a little bit later, has a fifth wheel fitted to the sliding part of the front semi-trailer chassis, improving the behavior of the combination in reverse conditions. Regards. Guy
