Right. So the highest truck safety standards in the world are in Scandinavia, specifically Norway and Sweden, and many of them are adopted across the whole EU/EEA. These countries also seem to have some of the lowest truck fatality rates globally.
But these standards include things like AEBS and other automatic systems, speed limiters, tachographs etc., there is not much to get paid for for a contractor once the system is in the car and working properly, in fact every decision to enact new safety standards is fought hard at the EU level, so every additional system has to prove it's worth it.
