Le case automobilistiche statunitensi affermano che le norme UE proposte potrebbero bloccare i grandi camioncini provenienti dall’Europa

>Andrew Puzder, the U.S. ambassador to the bloc, told the Financial Times that ​the EU plans to change safety rules that could breach ​the spirit of the trade deal struck in August between the United ⁠States and the EU if they prevented some American vehicles from ​being sold in Europe.

>The automaker group ​noted an alliance ​of safety and ⁠green groups has been pressuring the EU “to end so-called ‘loopholes’ that allow large ‘American-style’ pick-up trucks – to be sold in ​Europe.”

Keep whining 🙂

Large US pickups are too big for European roads anyway.

I once watched an imported Escalade get stuck in the old town of a UK city. Literally wedged between two medieval walls, unable to move.

They can keep those bullshit vehicles. We need reasonable sized cars. There was one of those shitboxes on the supermarket parking lot. Took almost 2 Parking spots in length.

My neighbor has a American truck, its literally the size of two cars and wide af. He or she cant even exit the neighborhood early in the morning or late at night when everyone is parked.

Is that supposed to threaten us with a good time saying that?

We do not need cars sized like American pickup trucks on the roads here.

Good.

No sane people need cars that big, only people who are compensating.

We have trucks, up to 26 tons, those are for serious work.

Good

Those pickup trucks are a scourge as bad as “disposable” vapes.

We certainly hope that these damn engines cannot be imported into Europe.

Yes please

That’s what most Europeans want and vote for. Let’s see if we start understanding democracy.

Only Americans would call a truck a car.

Good.

And? What’s the issue? Who needs those bulky pollution generators?

Then the EU is certainly doing something very right. Those large pickup trucks have no place in Europe, aside from maybe some people who live up in the mountains.

It’s about time American companies learned the world does not need to cater to them. If the USA won’t put reasonable restrictions on capitalism let the rest of the world do it.

I have retired in Spain. In my first four years I saw an American pickup truck twice. Recently they are becoming more frequent. Clearly they don’t fit in street parking and garages since they are often illegally parked. As more Americans move here it’s inevitable that some would bring their oversized vehicles. It doesn’t make a good impression here.
