At first I was like "this is crazy, those are going to be crazy expensive, they'll never make it" and then I realized we're not the customers, at least not willingly

The Oruga Unitrack [1] is listed as one of their case-studies, it looks awesome and I would really like to see it move.

I found [2] on YouTube, but it doesn't seem to contain any actual video of the vehicle (and the voice-over says "unit-rack" rather than "uni-track" which I didn't love).

Looks like they're targeting "civilian" products as well https://www.vergemotorcycles.com/
