I have no connection with the company except for watching a full promo video today.
Apparently they only make multi axle drive vehicles

we just delivered 2 x MAN 6x6 refuelers and are about to deliver 2 x water tankers (on same 6x6 chassis, they didn't need couldn't justify the 8x8s for extra $$)
unreal where these things will go, I think anywhere a 4wd would provided they will fit. I had one road legal at 22 tonnes (is rated for 32 tonnes off road) go up what must have been close to a 45 degree incline, I just put it in low range, locked up the diffs (all) and drove straight up no stuggle at all (except for me ****ting myself at the thought of damaging a new $350,000 truck

Unfortunately I didn't get to see it, but one of the guys in our office said he couldn't fault it very well made and robust although not particularly suited to our applications due to the locker configuration. (but that would be easily modified)
Apparently all their engines are air cooled V configurations. The V8 around 300Kw and 1700Nm.

have seen some in action on the euro truck trails when it came to england a few years ago.
it was incrediable what these trucks could do and were there drivers would take them, makes the average landie outing look tame
