UK “Road Train” Trial
Close examination of the photo shows this is simply wishful thinking on the part of a photographer with too much time on their hands in a UK refrigerated freight yard. The giveaway is the lack of dollies under the front of the trailing units.

It’s not a matter of how many trailers you can pull with one prime mover. Real productivity savings are being made when you can get just a bit more freight on busy routes, not the triples and quads travelling about in remote areas.
