Cathedral Priest Toni Faber Invited to Confession in an E-Car in Vienna

Confession meets e-mobility: In an unusual event, the new Kia PV5 transformed into a rolling chapel on Tuesday. Inside the fully electric transporter sat none other than Cathedral priest Toni Faber – with an open ear for everything weighing on people's minds.

Rolling Chapel with Cathedral Priest Faber on the Move in Vienna

With stops at prominent Viennese locations – from St. Stephen's Cathedral to the Naschmarkt, Mariahilfer Street, and up to the main university – the nearly 4.5 cubic meter Kia PV5 became a mobile place of encounter. The event was deliberately open: confession, conversation, or simply a brief moment to pause – everything was welcome.

"We are just a few steps further outside than usual – but closer to the people," said Toni Faber at the start in front of the Giant Gate of St. Stephen's Cathedral. In direct proximity to the usual confession rooms, he offered spontaneous conversations in the electric PV5 "with a wink and genuine openness."

With the event, Kia aims not only to present the PV5 but also to show that commercial vehicles can be more than just cargo carriers. "A commercial vehicle can also transport emotions, humor, and humanity," explained Christine Heeger, Marketing Director of Kia Austria. With the battery space-savingly installed in the underbody, the PV5 offers a lot of interior space – and thus room for new ideas.

Toni Faber welcomes the shift to e-mobility: "I myself am in the process of switching from a combustion engine to an electric car – a necessary change if we want to shape mobility responsibly in the future."
