On March 18, Porsche officially announced its operating income and profit for fiscal 2021 online. Last year, its revenue was €33.1 billion, an increase of €4.4 billion from the previous fiscal year and an increase of 15% year-on-year (operating income for FY2020 was €28.7 billion). Profit from sales was €5.3 billion, an increase of €1.1 billion (up 27 percent) from the previous fiscal year. Deliveries of the Taycan more than doubled: 41,296 customers worldwide received their first pure electric Porsche. The Taycan even surpassed porsche benchmark sports car 911, although the latter also set a new record with 38,464 units delivered.
Mr. Obomu, Chairman of the Porsche Global Executive Board, said: "The Taycan is an authentic Porsche sports car that inspires passion from all groups – including our existing customers, new customers, automotive experts and the industry media. We will also launch another pure electric sports car to accelerate the electrification process: in the mid-1920s, we planned to present the mid-engined 718 sports car in pure electric form. ”
It is worth mentioning that last year, of all new Porsche cars delivered in Europe, electric models accounted for nearly 40%, including plug-in hybrid models and pure electric models. Porsche has announced plans to become carbon neutral by 2030.
"It is expected that by 2025, sales of electric models will account for half of Porsche's overall sales, including pure electric and plug-in hybrid models," Obomus revealed. "By 2030, the proportion of pure electric vehicles in new vehicles is planned to reach more than 80%." To achieve this ambitious goal, Porsche is working with partners to invest in the construction of high-end charging stations, as well as Porsche's own charging infrastructure. In addition, Porsche has invested heavily in core technologies such as battery systems and battery module production. The newly formed Cellforce company is focusing on the development and production of high-performance batteries, with volume production expected in 2024.
In China, Porsche continues to accelerate the electrification process around the product and vehicle ecology, and continues to enrich the electric mobility life of Chinese customers. At that time, Porsche's lineup of new energy models in China will be expanded to 21 models.
