> DACH, an acronym for Deutschland (Germany), Austria, Confoederatio Helvetica (Swiss Confederation), the three major German-speaking countries

I was not familiar with this term before, had to look it up.

A great acronym as it translates to roof (Dach in german).

I guess GAS is a bit awkward when talking about green energy (even if somehow natural gas is considered "green") and sustainable heating source.

It doesn’t even make sense though, shouldn’t it be DÖCH?

It goes by license plate codes https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/International_vehicle_registra...

It makes for a fun acronym DACH meaning roof in german. If they used Ö why not DÖS with an S for Schweiz then ?

Because this consortium seemingly has nothing to do with receiving license plate assignments. And the acronym seems to derive from your general vernacular, lending its name to many other things.
