A system (4) and method to control a vehicle platoon that comprises at least one lead vehicle and one additional vehicle, each of which has a positioning unit (1 ) and a unit (2) for wireless communication. The system comprises a driving profile unit (6) configured to determine two different common driving strategies adapted to be applied for all vehicles in the vehicle platoon, whereby these driving strategies are constituted by a common position-based driving strategy and a common time-based driving strategy. The system comprises an analysis unit (7) that is configured to: - receive and evaluate one or several driving strategy criteria values (8), - determine whether the said time-based driving strategy or position-based driving strategy is to be used, depending on the result of the said evaluation, - generate a driving strategy signal that indicates the driving strategy that has been determined, and - transmit the driving strategy signal to all vehicles in the vehicle platoon that are affected by the driving strategy, after which the vehicles in the vehicle platoon are controlled according to the driving strategy.
