Porsche is reportedly considering moving part of its final assembly process from Germany to the United States. This strategic move aims to mitigate the impact of potential US tariffs on imported goods.
According to a Bloomberg report, Porsche might relocate steps like interior component installation or tire mounting overseas. This decision is driven by the desire to preserve the "Made-in-Germany" image while addressing potential trade barriers.
Volkswagen, Porsche's parent company, is already negotiating with the US Department of Commerce regarding the resolution of the tariff dispute. Volkswagen is offering further investments in the US as a countermeasure. The company currently employs over 20,000 people directly and over 55,000 indirectly in the US.
Porsche has not yet announced any plans for production in the US, but the company is closely monitoring the situation. The move could help Porsche navigate potential tariffs and maintain its market position in the US.
