The American Automotive Policy Council, representing major U.S. automakers, communicated this position in a letter.<\/p>\n<p>The council noted that the EU had previously agreed to work on reducing non-tariff barriers and recognizing mutual vehicle standards as part of a trade agreement with the United States. The group contends that proposed modifications to the EU&#8217;s Individual Vehicle Approval framework would diminish market access for vehicles built in the United States and exported to Europe. The letter stated that this approval process has seen increased use for vehicle types like large pickup trucks, which are in growing demand but not commonly found in the EU market.<\/p>\n<p>Separately, the U.S. ambassador to the EU indicated that planned changes to safety regulations could conflict with the spirit of the trade agreement if they result in blocking the sale of certain American vehicles in Europe. An alliance of safety and environmental organizations has been advocating for the EU to close provisions that permit the sale of large American-style pickup trucks.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.indexbox.io\/store\/european-union\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">Transport &amp; Environment<\/a>, a European advocacy group focused on clean transport, reported that sales of large American pickups and SUVs in the EU reached 7,000 units in 2024. The group has asserted that permitting more such vehicles to be sold under significantly lower safety and emissions standards would not be in the interest of EU citizens.<\/p>\n<p class=\"text-alpha-black mb-3\">Interactive table based on the Store Companies dataset for this report.<\/p>\n<p>\t\t\t\tSort: Rank<br \/>\n\t\t\t\tSort: Company A-Z<br \/>\n\t\t\t\tSort: Headquarters A-Z<\/p>\n<p>\t\t\t\t\t#<br \/>\n\t\t\t\t\tCompany<br \/>\n\t\t\t\t\tHeadquarters<br \/>\n\t\t\t\t\tFocus<br \/>\n\t\t\t\t\tScale<br \/>\n\t\t\t\t\tNote<\/p>\n<p>\t\t\t\t\t\t1<br \/>\n\t\t\t\t\t\tFord Motor Company<br \/>\n\t\t\t\t\t\tDearborn, Michigan<br \/>\n\t\t\t\t\t\tFull-size &amp;
