In 2024, Mercedes-Benz presented Pope Francis with a custom G-class electric Popemobile, highlighting a commitment to sustainability. This vehicle includes features like a bulletproof glass canopy and adjustable seating, allowing the Pope to make environmentally friendly appearances. As part of a longstanding relationship with the papacy, the new Popemobile symbolizes a move towards electromobility, underlining the significance of environmental themes in the Vatican's messaging. The timely delivery occurred just before the Pope's passing, marking a poignant moment in papal history.
With this popemobile, we are also sending out a clear call for electromobility and decarbonization.
The custom Mercedes-Benz G-class electric vehicle was designed to transport Francis around Vatican City emission-free as part of his commitment to environmental justice.
