The Pontiff will use a gasoline Mercedes Clase G and an Isuzu D-Max diesel pick-up during his apostolic visit from June 6 to 12, leaving the Vatican's electric models in Rome.
Pope León XIV has decided to use conventional vehicles for his main movements in Madrid, Barcelona and the Canary Islands. According to Vatican sources, a gasoline Mercedes Clase G and an Isuzu D-Max diesel pick-up will serve as official transports, after being moved from Rome in military Airbus A400M planes. The electric Mercedes Clase G 580, added to the papal garage in 2024, will remain in Rome. The Pontiff will only use emission-free buggies on short trips, such as those planned at the Santiago Bernabéu stadium. The apostolic visit is scheduled between June 6 and 12. The vehicles are already in Spain under the custody of the Air and Space Army and the National Police.
