A computer system comprising processing circuitry configured to handle a motion of a vehicle combination is provided. The vehicle combination comprises a towing vehicle unit and a set of towed vehicle units. The processing circuitry is configured to detect that a reverse gear is a selected or current gear of the towing vehicle unit. The processing circuitry is configured to, in response to detecting that the reverse gear is the selected or current gear of the towing vehicle unit, trigger at least one self-propelled towed vehicle unit out of the set of towed vehicle units to apply a negative torque to wheels of the at least one self-propelled towed vehicle unit, thereby causing the at least one self-propelled towed vehicle unit to travel in a reverse travel direction.
