That is Eisenhauer’s second attempt at designing a truck to replace semis.
It had two engines. Both engines were run when the truck was loaded; only one engine was run when the truck was empty.
It had multiple steering axles. Axles 1 and 2 obviously steer. Additionally, axles 3 and 5 steered. If you squint you can see in the pic that the 3rd axle is not pointed straight.
