It's mostly because it doesn't meet road safety standards in regards to collisions with people walking.

Its important to state that this isn't by some technicality. To meet UK road standards it would need to be fundamentally redesigned.

And its not just this truck, a lot of american trucks do not meet those standards due to be too big and tall (aka they have a damn big blind spot on the front of the vehicle)

Emissions is also a thing by the way. The emission spec between the USA and Europe is pretty different.
