Already happened, VW has the Amarok. The first generation was apparently too small to be sold successfully in the USA and they shifted it to EU. Mercedes-Benz had the X-Class, I think it was a similar story.
As these vehicles aren’t officially sold in EU by their brands, they don’t enter the pollution calculation of their average fleet. I doubt that they will produce even more similar models adapted to and for the EU market.
And to compete our domestic car industries will probably start making similar models :/

One-up it entirely and make a ‘thinner’ pickup truck that does comply with EU roads and usurp the Chrysler dogshit entering your nations.
Let the Germans make it.
Isn’t that just a van?
Make kei trucks popular in Europe.
There is already e.g. the Multicar.
