First Zero-Emission Vehicle (ZEV) compliant country
 

The Dutch government proposed to have a countrywide ban of the sale of new non-sustainable gas and diesel vehicles within the next decade including hybrids/plug-in hybrids by 2025. All-EV and hydrogen fuel cell vehicles would be the legal options for the Dutch sale. The long term plan includes traffic integration of EV/fuel cell autonomous vehicles to ease the highway/road system congestion.

Holland hoping to be the first Zero-Emission Vehicle (ZEV) compliant country.

Not sure about the viability of such turnaround in a relatively short term. I still believe they're skipping some steps...

And how on Earth can they consider H2-powered cars to be zero emission?

I suppose the same way they're considering EV's to be zero emissions.

Environmental driven insanity.

For perspective on their motivation, keep in mind that about 25% of the Netherlands is already below current sea levels.

Just saying.

Anything the neatherlands does to mitigate CO2 will be about as effective as farting in a tornado.
Reconsidering being below would be far more effective than anything to do with limiting their own CO2 emissions.
Limiting their own CO2 emissions to try and save the 25% of your country that is below sea level is pure insanity.

You can be pretty sure that vehicle plans are not their only focus.

They need floating cities as does New Orleans.
