A chain of semi-trailer vehicles is intended to be articulated to a main vehicle. Each semi-trailer vehicle includes a body and a single bogie supporting the body, known as a trailer bogie. The bodies of the semi-trailer vehicles are successively articulated to one another from a first semi-trailer vehicle of the chain by a separate inter-body joint. Each inter-body joint is carried by one end of each semi-trailer vehicle connected to a following vehicle. Each inter-body joint is articulated along a vertical pivot axis. Each trailer bogie of a body carries an inter-body joint arranged longitudinally with respect to the body so that the bogie axis and the interconnection axis are offset.
