Francis receives new electric Popemobile

Pope Francis receives a new fully electric open Popemobile directly from Mercedes-Benz CEO Ola Kallenius during a ceremony at the Vatican. The new vehicle, an EQG 580 fully electric, was developed by Mercedes-Benz, tailored specifically to meet the Pope’s needs. It features a rotating seat and dedicated platforms for the Pope’s security.

01:30Today is a great honor for us at the Mercedes-Benz team.
01:59We're handing over a new Popemobile, and we have almost a hundred years tradition
02:05working with the Vatican, and we are very proud that they put their trust in us.
02:10The very first Popemobile was 1930 for Pope Pius XI, and today we have a world premiere.
02:16It is the very first all-electric Popemobile for Pope Francis,
02:21so I think it ushers in a new era of Popemobiles.
02:26We have put hundreds of hours of passion and craftsmanship into this vehicle.
02:31The basis is the electric G that has been launched this year,
02:35but as you can see, it's been tailor-made for the Holy Father,
02:40with the chair as a centerpiece that can swivel in both directions,
02:45so he can address the people around him.
02:49Down to small details, like at the back of it, you see you have two little things sticking out,
02:56and that's where the Swiss Guard can stand.
