Porsche plant to close due to outbreak?
Officials say they are prepared for a drop in demand?
March 19, according to Porsche's official news, since this March 21, 2020, Porsche's factory in Zuffenhausen as well as the Leipzig plant will be temporarily closed due to the epidemic, initially planned for two weeks.?
Porsche's move is in response to the current increase in the rate of infection of new crown pneumonia, as well as the German government to take countermeasures. At the same time, there are supply bottlenecks in the global supply chain due to the outbreak, which will not allow it to produce in an orderly manner as planned.?
Currently, Porsche has two production plants around the world, Zuffenhausen in Stuttgart and Leipzig, both located in Germany. The Zuffenhausen plant produces the 911, the 718 sports car and the Taycan, the first all-electric sports car, while the Leipzig plant produces the Macan, Cayenne and Panamera models, as well as the next-generation all-electric Macan.
For Oliver Blume, chairman of Porsche's global executive board, the future direction and eventual outcome of the global automotive market is so uncertain that it is too early to make any predictions.?
However, Porsche is now prepared for a drop in demand due to the new Crown Pneumonia outbreak and needs to ensure a solid financial position. The financial report shows that Porsche's sales revenue for 2019 lifted to 26.1 billion euros, up 10.1 percent year-on-year, with a return on operating sales before special items of 16.2 percent.?
In addition to suspending production at the two plants, Porsche will keep making assessments based on developments. In the meantime, Porsche has taken a series of strict measures. For example, all official travel is banned, mobile working is promoted, and all meetings take the form of video or teleconferencing.?
It's not just Porsche, whose parent company, Volkswagen Group, is also considering a three-week closure and shutdown of the vast majority of its European factories starting next week. This follows the closure of VW Group plants in Spain, Italy, Portugal and Slovakia due to the outbreak.?
With the spread of the epidemic, more and more car companies have been forced to make the decision to close their factories. At a rough count, there are already car companies including Fiat Chrysler, Lamborghini, Daimler, Volvo, Nissan and Ford announcing the suspension of production at most of their factories in Europe one after another starting this week. As of March 18, the total number of full-vehicle plants in Europe where international automakers have announced that they have suspended production and will soon do so has exceeded 70...?

Automakers have been producing anti-epidemic products?
The U.S., Italian and British auto markets are not looking good?
On March 20, Volkswagen Group said in a statement that it had formed a task force to fight the coronavirus, looking at how 3D printing could be used to help make hospital ventilators and other life-saving equipment.?
VW is understood to have more than 125 industrial 3D printers that are being synchronized to test materials and check the supply chain.?
A VW spokesman said, "Medical devices are a new area for us. But once we understand the requirements and get the blueprints, we can start using them. Prototype components have already been printed and its Skoda division is included in the project."?
Not only that, but Volkswagen Group's Bentley ultra-luxury brand and sports car brand Porsche have also said they want to help with the rescue effort.?
The government, for its part, is also actively courting automakers, including Ford, General Motors, Ferrari and Nissan, to increase production of respirators and other equipment to treat the fast-spreading disease.?
In addition BMW, McLaren, Fiat Chrysler, and Volvo Cars are all interested in providing local production and manufacturing of 3D printing technology parties, ventilators, ventilators, and other epidemic relief products.?
One of them, Volvo CEO HakanSamuelsson, said, "We are seeing the impact of this coronavirus increasing every day. I think we need to do something bold as far as the economy is concerned, rather than trying to trivialize the measures, dragging it out forever is not the way to go".END?
