Reply to comment by aspheric_cow in ELI5: Why do european trucks have their engine below the driver compared to US trucks which have the engine in front of the driver? by Naofumitarddv

Just to add: this is not just the EU making rules for rule's sake

Remember europe is TONS older than the US. Plenty of twisty old roads and villages, far less straight, some really constrained routes.

Excessive length means trucks simply couldn't access some areas.
