I can't keep up with the continuing flood of European RVs, so can only post from time to time as I see something unusual. Today (August 17) definitely qualifies as 6X6 wheel arrangements are quite rare in the RV world. Also the Bucher name is not well known here as a truck manufacturer.
Bucher Municipal is a Swiss truck builder that specializes in what we would call "vocational" vehicles such as street sweepers, refuse, construction, ready-mix, winter maintenance and others. Bucher builds the complete truck, not just the chassis. They are also hydraulics specialists, so many of these trucks use hydraulic systems.
Bucher was a partner in the development of the Mowag Duro (DUrable, RObust) military vehicles used by many European countries.
Today's "catch" certainly has a military look - especially the colour of the wheel rims.
I would say physical agility is a necessity - that step ladder access to the body is stowed in an exterior compartment (right side rear) so exiting would be only via the cab until the ladder can be rigged.
