Pope Francis Embraces Sustainability with First Electric Popemobile

Pope Francis has received the first all-electric popemobile from Mercedes-Benz, marking a significant step towards sustainable transportation for the Vatican. The modified G-Class vehicle, equipped with four individual motors for low-speed travel, allows the Pope to greet visitors while promoting electromobility and decarbonization. This move aligns with Pope Francis' previous experiences with zero-emission vehicles, including a hydrogen-powered Toyota Mirai and a Renault Kangoo electric van.
