Porsche 2030: "More than 80 percent fully electric new vehicles".

 Since the announcement of the 2021 business figures, this seems quite clear: fully electric! "In 2025, half of all new Porsche sales should be electrified - in other words, fully electric or plug-in hybrid," Blume announces. "In 2030, the share of all new vehicles with a fully electric drive should be more than 80 per cent," the Porsche CEO continues.

That electrification is the right decision can be seen from the fact that delivery figures for the Taycan more than doubled in 2021. 41,296 units were sold. Almost half of the best-selling combustion models Macan (88,362) and Cayenne (83,071). In total, more vehicles were sold with the Taycan than with the iconic 911 sports car, although the latter also set a new record with 38,464 units. For Blume, the announcement of these strong figures - a total of 301,915 vehicles sold worldwide - was the right setting to announce that the 718 mid-engine sports car will be exclusively all-electric on the road from 2025.

Last year, almost 40 per cent of all new Porsche vehicles delivered in Europe were already electrified - i.e. plug-in hybrids or fully electric models. In addition, Porsche announced its intention to be CO2-neutral in 2030. Porsche is investing heavily to achieve these ambitious goals. This is reflected, among other things, in premium charging stations - and also in its charging infrastructure - which it intends to build. Further extensive investments are being made in core technologies such as battery systems and module production. In the newly founded Cellforce Group, high-performance battery cells are being developed and produced, which should be ready for series production by 2024.

It can be assumed that part of last year's corporate profit will flow accordingly into the achievement of these self-set goals. Turnover in 2021 was 33.1 billion euros, which is 4.4 billion euros more than in the previous year and corresponds to a growth of 15 per cent (previous year's turnover: 28.7 billion euros). The operating result was 5.3 billion euro, exceeding the previous year's figure by 1.1 billion euro (plus 27 per cent). Porsche thus generated an operating return on sales of 16.0 per cent (previous year: 14.6 per cent).
