Could it be a truck with two electric engines on the front wheels ?

It's nothing special about its engine.

Could it be that from the cowl forward the nose of this vehicle is "one piece" tilting forward to access the engine?

It has nothing to do with mechanical/technical stuff.

It looks a bit Opel Blitz-like

I have only found a picture of this truck but not any additional info. What I did find was that this may be a Magirus-Deutz Haubenwagen prototype from cca. 1958. Is any of this correct?

That is indeed correct, but not not sufficient for a point – sorry! ;)

Hi Allemano, I'm afraid I'm going to have to ask you to unlock this since I had no luck finding any more info on this truck so far . :(

All I could find is this comment, which is not very instructive :
"Ich weiß nur, daß dieser Hauber-Prototyp sehr stark dem ebenfalls nicht realisierten Prototypen des S 7500 F Jupiter Frontlenkers von 1955 ähnelt, besonders bezüglich der rundlichen Formen und beim Grill-Design"
I guess that further info is needed.

What you guess is right.

To help a bit: what make this Magirus truck special is not a technical aspect...

Non-Technical.
Was it intended for sale in a new market?
