Porsche is sticking to its policy of transitioning to electric vehicles, bringing forward the end of production of some internal combustion models, the carmaker\u2019s production chief told Automobilwoche magazine.<\/p>\n
Porsche executive board member Albrecht Reimold said that the petrol-powered version of SUV model Macan for non-European markets would be produced no longer than 2026.<\/p>\n
“The platform has reached the end of its cycle,” said Reimold.<\/p>\n
A Porsche spokesperson said that an earlier report by Automobilwoche that this constitutes a faster transition was not correct. After the production stop the company would focus on electric Macan versions to push Porsche’s sustainability agenda, even though overall EV demand had seen a slump, Reimold was quoted as saying.<\/p>\n
“I don’t let the success (of the electric Macan) be defined by a single number,” the executive was quoted as saying.<\/p>\n
Combustion engine versions of Boxster and Cayman sportscars, a model range known as 718, would no longer be produced from next year and the company is already focused on electric versions to be launched next year, Reimold added.<\/p>\n
Production of petrol-powered versions of 718 and Macan for European markets have already been stopped.<\/p>\n
