Smaller vehicles that do not need to meet the same safety requirements as existing cars could be Europe’s answer to maintaining its automotive industry.

Not really. In Spain these are not allowed in highways, can be driven with a moped license, and are available in micro pickup and van versions, great for city deliveries, and such. If you want larger, more powerful microcars get a Smart, or Toyota IQ, or something similar. The L7e class exists for a reason, and it doesn’t preclude a new intermediate class (where I find the safety relax a fucking mistake. Vehicles should have as many safety features as neede and possible in respect to their usage parameters.
I thought only L6e (45 km/h) can be driven with a moped licence. L7e (80km/h) with moped licence is new to me.
