Those attending the road train trial included members of the Chichester District Parking Forum, the Chamber of Commerce, West Sussex County Council and the Police.
Councillor Tony French, Chairman of the Chichester District Parking Forum, said: "I fully support the idea of bringing a road train to Chichester as it could encourage visitors to use those car parks which are located just outside the city centre, and so ease pressure on our central car parks.
"The road train could also assist elderly or disabled persons, and parents with young children who find it difficult gaining access to the city centre."
