It might be a "Dyna Geist" or Geist Dyna by "Ernst Heinrich Geist Elektrizitäts-AG", built in Cologne around 1905-1909.

It´s been powered by an Argus or Fafnir engine that drove a dynamometer.

Each wheel of the 16 HP version had a single 110V electrical motor and it featured 4 wheel steering with two steering wheels for the two axles.

It never really made it into production, but I think it really is an interesing piece of technological history!

EDIT: I think yours is the bigger 28/32 Argus powered version.

Well done, that's the truck. I have it as Geist Dynamobil.
Geographically you had to be the one to solve it.  :D
One more point for you.

Some buses that drove around Cologne-Nippes in 1907 featured the same chassis.
