Porsche as one of the domestic imported brands, the models on sale have always been sold in China in the booking mode, the booking time is long in years, short is also several months, especially in recent years, the epidemic has caused a shortage of chips in the environment, the arrival time of models has been extended, but "a wave of uneven, a wave of rises", the Porsche brand will face new challenges.
Recently, a suspected news that Porsche was suspended due to the tense international situation was exposed, involving models including many models under the Porsche brand.
It is reported that the main reason is that the tense international situation has made the automotive supply chain continue to deteriorate, some key raw materials have been blocked, and most of the parts produced in Ukraine have been delayed. The most important of these are "neon" and "palladium", which are important raw materials necessary for the manufacture of chips and catalysts, respectively, and the total neon production of Russia and Ukraine currently accounts for 70% of the world's total, while about 20% of the palladium imported by Germany comes from Russia.
In this regard, foreign media revealed that Porsche's leipzig plant in Germany has been temporarily closed from March 2 and is expected to last until March 11. And Porsche revealed that whether the factory can successfully resume production in the future will also be evaluated according to the situation and dynamics in the next few weeks.
It is reported that the main models produced by the factory are the Macan and Panamera.
However, according to the information received from this document, there are not only the above two models, but also the 911 GT3/Touring (discontinued on March 17), 911 (discontinued on March 31), 718 (discontinued on March 14), Cayenne (discontinued on March 7), and Taycan (discontinued on March 3).
The fact that these models are only discontinued means that it is not excluded that another Porsche plant, Zuvenhausen, will also be affected.
It is worth mentioning that Porsche previously announced that it will invest $567 million to produce the electric 718 at the Zuffenhausen plant, which means that the car plan will be postponed.
Of course, it is not only Porsche that is affected by this, according to the Data of the Ukrainian Investment Promotion Agency, there are currently 38 factories set up by foreign companies in Ukraine to engage in the production of auto parts, so the major global car companies will be greatly affected in the near future, among which Volkswagen, BMW, Mercedes-Benz and Toyota have successively announced production cuts and production suspension plans.
It is worth mentioning that due to the impact of the international situation, not only will it lead to a shortage of parts, but also affect the transportation of models, and it is not excluded that porsche models will increase prices around the world in the future.
In fact, the impact of the automotive industry is interlocked, it is expected that the future impact will affect the world, when more car companies' models will be difficult to find, so to buy imported models can be early.
The demand for chips required by new energy vehicles is greater, so it is not ruled out that more new energy vehicles will increase prices again in the future.
