A longer vehicle combination for road transport uses a prime mover connected to a front trailer and then a rear trailer and the trailer axles are arranged in three tandem sets. The leading tandem set of the rear trailer is part of a dolly which supports a fifth wheel of the rear trailer and the spacing of the tandem sets is 1.5-2.5m. The rear axle of the tandem set has a pair of self-steered wheels which assist in the reduction of the turning circle over rough terrain when the combination is a bulk milk tanker combination. 20IS-02-27,C\Usrs\SharleneDocauments\SPECIFICAT[ONSbyford.capnpd,8 0c CMl o) 0 CMj N C\ CMl Ir CMl
