The sports car manufacturer Porsche is preparing for continued headwinds in China, in addition to supply shortages of aluminum parts. As a result, the company is increasingly focusing on new combustion engine models. Porsche CEO Oliver Blume stated on Wednesday, while presenting the first half-year financial results, that the business in China will remain challenging in the medium term. „If the luxury segment for EVs doesn’t take off in China, we will be ready with luxury combustion engines and hybrids. We have strong profit margins in this area as well.“ Porsche has already planned several new combustion engine models for future projects and benefits from its flexible production capabilities.
