Pope Francis, the head of the Roman Catholic Church, is set to receive a new electric vehicle from Mercedes-Benz as his popemobile. This event is tied to the upcoming Holy Year, set for 2025.

Pope Francis's New Electric Vehicle

The new electric Mercedes for Pope Francis was unveiled on Wednesday. This vehicle will serve as his means of transportation when greeting pilgrims in St. Peter's Square. The vehicle, based on the G-Class model, features an elevated seat and a grab bar, enhancing both comfort and safety when the Pope stands.

Holy Year and Artificial Intelligence

The Vatican has announced the launch of AI-based services for St. Peter's Basilica as part of the Holy Year 2025 celebrations. In collaboration with Microsoft and the heritage digitalization company Iconem, the Basilica now offers a new interactive platform, allowing visitors to virtually explore its Renaissance-era architectural treasures.

Historic Partnership with Mercedes

Mercedes-Benz has been providing special vehicles for the Pope for nearly a century. The new electric popemobile is a natural continuation of this long-standing partnership and the introduction of new technologies.

Pope Francis's updated electric vehicle highlights his commitment to environmental issues. It also strengthens the long-term relationship between the Vatican and Mercedes-Benz.
