Drivalia, alongside BYD, successfully concludes its journey of Mobility Support for the Jubilee 2025: a year “moved by hope” at the service of pilgrims
With the closing of the Holy Gate and the closing of the celebrations of the Ordinary Jubilee 2025, Drivalia announces the completion of its mandate of official support for mobility. The Auto Bank Group company, supported by its strategic partnership with BYD, worked alongside the Dicastery for Evangelization throughout the Holy Year, providing logistical support and mobility to the millions of visitors who arrived in Rome.
The past year has been historic, with Drivalia at the forefront facilitating the experience of pilgrims and tourists through innovative mobility solutions. The fleet relied on models such as the BYD Atto 3 and BYD Dolphin electric compact, and the spacious BYD Seal U DM-i plug-in hybrid. In addition, there is a vast network of support: from the Mobility Store on Via della Conciliazione, opened especially for the Holy Year as part of the Jubilee Info Point, to strategic locations in the capital’s airports and train stations.
The claim adopted for the occasion, “Moved by Hope”, was not only a tribute to the Jubilee motto “Pilgrims of Hope”, but translated into concrete actions. This is evidenced by the direct commitment of Drivalia employees, many of whom have signed up for Jubilee volunteer activities. Volunteers played a fundamental role in welcoming and assisting, providing information on services, welcoming visitors to meeting points and accompanying them along dedicated routes.
We are grateful to Drivalia for the constant support offered during this Holy Year. Their collaboration guaranteed concrete support for the mobility needs of the faithful, allowing them to live the Jubilee with serenity and in full respect of the Care for Creation.
We came to the end of this extraordinary journey with the awareness of having offered a useful service not only to the logistics of the event but to the very spirit of the Jubilee. Being chosen as a partner by the Vatican was an honor that confirmed our vocation as a company at the service of people. We accompanied the pilgrims on their journey, offering them quality, flexible and sustainable mobility.
