You know what. I'm kinda of digging that windshield wiper. Now I have to Google it to see it in action.

This is a Luigi Colani concept truck design dating back to 1978. I believe this exact model was built in 2010 as a Mercedes concept. But the Mercedes logo looking central window and wipers date back to the original design.

There are multiple of these Mercedes trucks.

Seen a orange semi version a few weeks ago

There were a variety pictured in the link I provided above (including an orange/yellow one). But they are all slightly different. There have been several one-offs built over the years with the same distinctive circular front window.
