Britta Seeger, Member of the Board of Management of Mercedes-Benz Group AG. Marketing & Sales writes on LinkedIn:
We build the perfect Mercedes-Benz for every customer — including the Pope.
Yes, you did read that right: For nearly 100 years, Popes have chosen Mercedes-Benz cars for their travels. Today I’m excited to share a special milestone in our long-standing trustful relationship with the Vatican: our new electric G-Class has officially taken up duty as the first all-electric Mercedes-Benz Popemobile!
Every G-Class is special – but this one stands above them all. It’s handcrafted, with unique bodywork and has lots of special features to make travelling more comfortable. There’s only one main rear seat, which rotates so the Pope can greet crowds whilst on his travels. And this electric G’s drivetrain has been modified to work perfectly at very slow speeds.
This cooperation honours us deeply and is a prime example of finding the perfect solution for every customer.
We bring leather, material and fashion businesses together: an opportunity to meet and greet face to face. We bring them from all parts of the world so that they can find fresh partners, discover new customers or suppliers and keep ahead of industry developments.
We organise a number of trade exhibitions which focus on fashion and lifestyle: sectors that are constantly in flux, so visitors and exhibitors alike need to be constantly aware both of the changes around them and those forecast for coming seasons.
