If you follow innovations in the automotive world and technological adaptations for specific purposes,
will be impressed by the latest transformation of Mercedes-Benz G-Class.
An icon of robustness and luxury, the G-Class now takes on an even more historic role: it has become the first all-electric Popemobile in history.
This change marks not only a technological advance, but also a commitment to sustainability and the modernization of a symbol that has accompanied the Vatican for decades.
The new Popemobile, based on the model G 580 EQ, was adapted to transport Pope Francis to public events, maintaining comfort, safety and religious symbolism.
If you're used to seeing the rugged G-Class on off-road adventures, you'll be surprised by the transformation it's undergone to suit the Pope.
The Popemobile version maintains the traditional G-Class front end, with the Vatican flags on the fenders as a symbolic detail.
With an estimated value for the original model in the range of R$ 1.1 million (considering the base of the G 580 EQ) and the exclusive adaptations for the Pope, the final cost certainly exceeds the R$ 2 million
So, what do you think of the new Popemobile? Do you think other institutions will follow the Vatican's example and invest in electric mobility for official functions?
