TVS Motor Company, in partnership with Exelentia and TVS Motor Italia, has delivered two iQube electric scooters to the Governorate of Vatican City State, reinforcing the institution’s commitment to zero-emission mobility and sustainable transportation.
The handover was completed on February 5 and marks another step in the Vatican’s efforts to integrate environmentally responsible transport solutions within its operational framework. The initiative aligns with the city-state’s broader sustainability goals, which focus on reducing carbon emissions and promoting cleaner modes of mobility.
Strengthening a Sustainability-Focused Partnership
The delivery stems from an ongoing collaboration between the Vatican and Exelentia, an organisation that has previously worked with the institution on innovation and sustainability projects. Through this partnership, Exelentia has played a key role in identifying and implementing mobility solutions suited to the Vatican’s unique urban and cultural environment.
TVS Motor Italia facilitated the provision of the electric scooters, acting as the link between the Indian two-wheeler manufacturer and its European partners. The collaboration reflects TVS Motor Company’s growing international presence in the electric mobility space.
Supporting Zero-Emission Operations
The TVS iQube electric scooter was selected for its practicality, reliability, and zero-emission performance, making it suitable for short-distance, institutional use within Vatican City. With silent operation and compact dimensions, the scooters are well suited for navigating the narrow streets and sensitive zones of the historic city-state.
By adopting electric two-wheelers for official use, the Governorate aims to reduce its environmental footprint while maintaining operational efficiency.
Expanding TVS Motor’s Global EV Footprint
The delivery to Vatican City State represents a symbolic milestone for TVS Motor Company’s global electric vehicle strategy. While the iQube has established a strong presence in the Indian market, such international deployments highlight the brand’s ability to cater to specialised mobility requirements in overseas markets.
The partnership with Exelentia and TVS Motor Italia also underlines TVS Motor’s focus on building local collaborations to support sustainable mobility initiatives worldwide.
Looking Ahead
As governments and institutions increasingly prioritise electrification, projects like this demonstrate how two-wheeler manufacturers can contribute to cleaner urban transport ecosystems. For TVS Motor Company, the Vatican delivery serves both as a validation of its electric technology and as a platform to expand its presence in environmentally focused mobility programmes.
With more cities and organisations embracing zero-emission transport, TVS Motor is expected to continue leveraging partnerships to deliver customised, sustainable solutions across global markets.
