VATICAN INAUGURATES RECHARGE SYSTEM FOR ELECTRIC VEHICLES

VATICAN CITY, SEP 27, 2000 (VIS) - A recharging system for electrical vehicles was inaugurated this morning at 11 in the Vatican's Piazzale del Petriano, which is adjacent to the Paul VI Hall. Among those present were Cardinal Edmund Szoka, president of the Pontifical Commission for Vatican City State.

Joining the cardinal were Bishop Gianni Danzi, secretary of the commission, and representatives of ENEL and So.l.e, the Italian companies which furnished the system. The station will allow electric cars as well as vehicles for the handicapped to be recharged. Other such points will be installed in Vatican City in coming months.

The station inaugurated this morning has four plugs, two for cars, and two for motorcycles and bikes, thus guaranteeing simultaneous recharging of diverse types of transport.
