Nevertheless, those are different requirements that require changes in production lines and components for a smaller number of vehicles meaning lower economies of scale and less advantageous supplier contracts.
That’s true. It also leads to driver assistance systems that are overly intrusive, which pass in the structured EuroNCAP test, but are unusable and almost dangerous on the road in poor visibility. Like was the case on the early MG4s. As they tried desperately to get a 5 star rating in Europe.
