Amsterdam will ban all diesel and petrol-powered vehicles by 2030

From next year, the Dutch city will begin phasing out all forms of vehicles that emit exhaust fumes, beginning with a ban on all cars 25 years or older.

Buses, mopeds and water crafts will also be weeded out under the new plans, which will see the city become emissions-free.

The city will need 23,000 charging stations by 2025 in order to meet the new demand for electric vehicles - 20,000 more than it currently has.
