A semitrailer model is active with the wheel drive enables to control its movement by slow downing one of the wheels. The model was equipped with all necessary control equipment. It proved that driving a semitrailer by slow downing one of its wheels is identical to driving a semitrailer front axis with direct drive and a driver transmission ratio of 0.5. Differences in all cases have not exceeded 12% that is slowingdown one of the wheels of a semitrailer is reasonable for driving a truck train with a long base semitrailer.</p>}, number={1}, journal={International Journal of Automotive and Mechanical Engineering}, author={Sakhno, V.
