The invention provides a new design of an intelligent pooling vehicle and trailer system equipped with an intelligent pooling vehicle and an intelligent electric powered trailer capable to improve the efficiency of the system, avoid off-tracking and make the system more user friendly. The rear powered tires train is capable to turn around a pivot, taking different positions with respect to the trailer. The independent electric motors on each tire of the trailer rear tires train provide additional power to the vehicle and steering capability of the trailer rear tires train. This allows better control of the rear of the trailer and instead to be only pull by the truck, the trailer may be driven by it self, by using different speeds on each of the two tires, avoiding accidents and helping back parking and driving.
