Porsche shifts focus to R&D of battery cells for the future

Porsche has said that it will reorganise its battery activities and focus on cell and system development, with electromobility remaining an essential drive technology for its sports cars in the future.

With strong regional differences in the ramp-up of e-mobility, Porsche is moving away from the originally planned scaling of battery production by the Cellforce Group and will focus on cell and system development in the future.

While volumes in the U.S.A and China are currently falling short of expectations for various reasons, around 57% of Porsche vehicles delivered in Europe were electrified, including hybrids. Regardless of this, it continues to rely on a flexible range of drive systems to position itself robustly in the transformation.

As such, Porsche's product strategy involves offering all three types of drive (combustion engine, hybrid, all-electric) in every segment until well into the 2030s.
