Yeah IIRC emissions shit was like that. So you can get a truck that weighs 2500kg puts out 158g/km of emissions but not an Asian style mini-truck that weighs only 1500kg and puts out i.e. 130g/km of emissions because it's in the same weight-class as say a Corolla (for which the max emissions might be only i.e. 100g/km)
So the mini truck might produce less pollution than the bigger truck and be perfectly useful for many people, but it's too much PER WEIGHT and thus doesn't qualify under the emissions regulations
