Yeah. This is deliberately mislabelled as a “CGI test”.
In truth, it was the final project for some guy in animation school in - if I remember correctly, but I could be wrong here - Brazil. In fact, whoever uploaded the clip to that site was a jerk ‘cause they deliberately cut the video short; the part displaying the artist’s webpage.
You can go here to find more of the artist’s work and the super high rez version of the clip:
To answer your question, Optimus is red, but if I remember the artist’s write up correctly, he wanted to make the truck look as real as possible, and found photo reference of a truck which looks like the one shown in the clip.
