Vatican Partners With Volkswagen, To Replace Its Entire Fleet With Electric Vehicles By 2030 

Vatican partners with Volkswagen as it begins the replacement of its state’s entire fleet with electric vehicles.

Starting from 2024, Volkswagen will deliver 38 EVs from its ID. family, ranging from the ID.3 to the ID.4 and ID.5.

It is part of Vatican’s “Ecological Conversion 2030,” which aims to reduce the CO2 footprint of the state’s vehicle fleet.

To achieve this, the existing vehicles are to be gradually replaced by electric ones to make the entire fleet CO2-neutral by 2030.

German automaker, Volkswagen, has handed over the first set of eco-friendly Electric Vehicles to the Vatican, which are part of the decarbonization strategy of the Vatican City State (VCS) to make the Vatican fleet climate-neutral by 2030.

To support the Vatican City State (VCS) in its transition towards sustainable mobility, Volkswagen will deliver 38 fully electric models from its ID. family, ranging from the ID.3 to the ID.4 and ID.5, starting from the beginning of 2024.

The transition is part of the Vatican’s “Ecological Conversion 2030,” a long-term project which aims to reduce the CO2 footprint of the state’s vehicle fleet. To achieve this, the existing vehicles are to be gradually replaced by electric ones to make the entire fleet CO2-neutral by 2030.

“The electrification of fleets is becoming increasingly important across the globe. The fact that Vatican employees will now also be among our ID. drivers in the future is a great target and honor for our brand and underscores the attractiveness of our all-electric ID. models,” said Imelda Labbé during the vehicle handover in Vatican City.

Dr. Christian Dahlheim added:

“We are delighted to support the Vatican in this important project. This is something very special for us and shows that we are absolutely competitive with our mobility solutions.”
