Nah, this isnt true unfortunately.

Someone replied:
"The article actually is misled by a shortened Dutch article. The motion only says that the government should STRIVE the goal of 100% sustainable vehicle sales in 2025.

Hence there is nothing being said about a ban of fossil fuel vehicles.
Nice statement of the lower house, but it’s not binding to do anything.
