That's the same type of rig that Llankelma use for geological surveying.
Where have you been to spot this one?
Returning from the Abenteuer Alrad Bad Kissingen show it was parked up in the hotel car park at Avifauna Bird Park close to Rotterdam.
Have no knowledge about this vehicle and did not have a chance to speak to the driver.
So have absolutely no knowledge about the vehicle or its capabilities.

It's a MAN truck.

Oh they get stuck alright. Insitu got one really stuck next a couple of months ago. And the recivery truck that tried to pull it out.And they are all wheel drive too. Lankelma have a road railer, that probably didn't get stuck. Caused me enough problems on a job once though.

The rig is remote controlled too as the steering wheel only affects the AWD. Can be driven from the cab (very high when tracks are down) or from the ground, or the rear.

Sounds like it's as good as a Freelander oft road.
