Germany's automobile Weekly reported on December 12 that cybertruck is still in full swing development and testing, but the bad news is that cybertruck may not be able to enter Europe at all and pass the EU's new model access. Stefan teller, an expert from an authoritative European testing agency, analyzed that Tesla cybertruck could not obtain EU model approval. If cybertruck wants to sell in Europe, Tesla has to modify the basic structure of cybertruck. "The design concept of Tesla cybertruck violates the safety concept of EU GM." although cybertruck looks safe, it is not. ". Experts say there is a big difference between the US and the EU in terms of the access mechanism for new models. The U.S. recognizes the "self certification" of vehicle enterprises. After testing new models, the vehicle enterprises can self certify. The U.S. authorities will only conduct spot checks according to the self certification of vehicle enterprises. In the European Union, motor vehicles and their accessories must be certified by the Economic Commission for Europe (ECE), and the new vehicle type approval system is jointly completed by manufacturers, competent authorities and independent technical service companies. "Motor vehicles must comply with articles 50 to 60.". The passive safety requirements of light trucks in the United States are relatively low, but Europe attaches great importance to vehicle passive safety and pedestrian protection. The Tesla electric pickup cybertruck obviously fails to meet the requirements of the European Union for passive safety and pedestrian protection. Experts said that in Europe, the front of the pickup truck cannot be very steep, the vehicle must have a bumper and engine cover to protect the safety of passengers, and Cybertruck must modify the front design to enter Europe. Tesla uses high-strength steel plates in cybertruck, which may affect the safety of passengers in case of an accident. Even if air bags are used, they can't resist the injury of steel plates to passengers. Experts say the use of high-strength steel plates "is the most important issue for cybertruck's security architecture.". Although the European Union allows bulletproof vehicles, such vehicles must apply for a special license. Tesla's planned mass production of cybertruck is unlikely to be licensed on a large scale. Stefan teller said that the current cybertruck could not obtain the license in the EU at all, and the only possible one was the license applied for individually. If you want to sell cybertruck in mass production, "Sir, you still have a very difficult task.".
