Seems the original concept was the Emirates version, but it seems to have morphed into the European version with engineers based in Germany:-

In 1995 the first steps for the development of a new mining truck were made by the founder of the company. He experienced the inefficiency of existing large haulage trucks and noticed the need for a new design during his fifteen years stay in Indonesia. After moving to Germany the formal development started, five young engineers and two seasoned engineers started to develop what is now the most modern truck on the market.
Haven't seen any real hardware yet, though, it's all CGI.

Hope they have Middle East backing (money) and can bring it to fruition.
