پورشه فعلا علاقه‌ای به احداث کارخانه در آمریکا ندارد

Porsche has announced that it has no plans to build a manufacturing facility in the United States, choosing instead to continue producing all of its vehicles, including popular SUV models, in Europe and exporting them. Company executives identified the low volume of production as the primary reason for avoiding a dedicated manufacturing footprint in North America.

Jochen Breckner, Porsche's chief financial officer, emphasized that shifting final assembly processes to the United States would not solve underlying supply chain cost issues. European vehicles exported to the U.S. currently face a 15 percent import tariff in addition to a 2.5 percent baseline rate, creating substantial financial pressure for automakers. Breckner noted that the business model has been built on the assumption that these 15 percent tariffs will remain in place.

Porsche estimates that expenses resulting from the 15 percent tariffs will reach several hundred million euros in 2026, a figure that stood at approximately 500 million euros during the first nine months of 2025. Even the Porsche Cayenne, despite being one of the company's best-selling global products, will not receive a dedicated production line in the U.S. because splitting limited production volumes across two continents lacks economic viability.

This decision contrasts sharply with the strategy of Audi, another subsidiary of the Volkswagen Group, which recently dedicated a four billion dollar investment to launch a factory in Georgia. Audi's new facility aims for an annual capacity of 200,000 SUVs and is slated to create about 4,500 jobs by 2031 to mitigate heavy import tariffs.

Meanwhile, Porsche's product deliveries dropped 16 percent to 178,532 units over a nine-month period, though the company reported an operating profit of 387 million euros for the third quarter. Stuttgart executives are focusing on introducing a new generation gasoline-powered SUV in 2028 as a successor to the Porsche Macan to boost sales instead of establishing a U.S. production line.
