You're getting downvoted by the kind of people who make serious conversation about this kind of thing impossible. This agreement will make importing - and driving - these trucks in the EU harder, because they'll actually be correctly identified and classified by EU laws for the first time instead of being treated as ten thousand unclassified one-offs. Sorry you're getting screamed down by a mob.

Not only that, but there's no market in EU for these things. People in EU don't drive massive trucks period. The whole notion that suddenly massive US cars will flood the market is bonkers. This isn't an article, its a propaganda piece
