A motorized road train includes a lead vehicle and at least one follower vehicle which are hitched to one another, and a CAN communication link linking the vehicles in the train. Each of the vehicles includes a rear axle, a front, steering axle, and electric steering control system including a steering rack, an actuator which acts on the angular orientation of the front, steering axle and a controller which drives the actuator. The controllers of the vehicles are parameterized to generate angular orientation instructions for the front, steering axle of the or each follower vehicle. Each of the vehicles is equipped both with an orientation sensor for determining the angle of the wheels of the front, steering axle and with an angular hitching sensor for determining the yaw angular orientation of the hitch relative to the chassis of the vehicle.
