The Oshkosh 1070F 8x8 is the tractor unit of the Heavy Equipment Transporter (HET) tasked with pulling Challenger 2s, Warrior Infantry Fighting Vehicles, and other heavy vehicles on the 14 wheeled King Trailers seen in the video. These are operated by 19 Tank Transporter Squadron of the Royal Logistics Corps (RLC) at Bulford Camp, and also FTX Logistics Ltd (KBR owned), who are contracted to the Ministry of Defence to provide transport during peacetime.
