Pope Francis receives the first fully electric papamobile in Rome!
Vatikanstadt, Italien - on Wednesday, in the Vatican, Mercedes-Benz presented the Pope Francis a new, handmade “papamobile” based on the fully electric G-Class, which was specially developed for sustainable mobility. This marks a significant step into the future: The 87-year-old Pope will be the first Pope to travel emission-free during public appearances. Mercedes-Benz has been supplying the Vatican with vehicles for 94 years, and now the Catholic Church is focusing on electrification-an important sign of environmental protection and modernity, especially with regard to the upcoming Holy Year 2025, which will move millions of pilgrims to Rome href = "https://www.bild.de/leben-wissen/auto/neues-papamobil-von-mercedes-wirktro-papst-674ecc7079c8fdde6"> Bild.de reported.
As part of the ceremonial handover, Mercedes boss Ola Källenius praised the outstanding cooperation with the Vatican and emphasized that the development of the new vehicle was another example of the company's commitment in the manufacture of iconic vehicles for the Pope. The G580 with EQ technology, which was chosen as the basis for the new mobile, is characterized by a special comfort: the roof was removed from the B-pillar, and an upset roof protects in bad weather, while a rotating, height-adjustable headquarters allows the Pope to welcome the believers from different angles. There are also two other places for companions in the rear. These technical innovations bring a breath of fresh wind to the traditional history of Papal mobility, which has been based on G-Class vehicles for 45 years, also reports Today.at .The manual production of the e-papamobile, which took almost a year, is particularly remarkable and connected the locations of Rome, Graz and Sindelfingen. This vehicle traditionally painted in Perlweiß not only represents technical achievements, but also a symbolic commitment of the Pope for ecological sustainability and innovation. With the new papamobile, the Pope will now also set an example for environmental protection in public and spread its message on an emission -free mission.
