Weitere Gewinnschmelze bei VW, bei Porsche wackeln noch mehr Jobs - aber wie geht es der Konkurrenz?

VW rechnet dieses Jahr angesichts hoher Kosten für den Konzernumbau und einer Milliardenabschreibung auf die Sportwagentochter Porsche kaum noch mit Gewinn. Deutschlands Autobauer stehen unter immensem Druck

Original German Read in English

Volkswagen has slashed its annual profit forecast for Porsche by a significant margin, announcing that the automaker expects the sports car manufacturer to improve its results by 3.8 billion euros by the end of the decade. This reduction is primarily due to the recently announced cost-cutting measures and the impact of China's weakening automotive market, where Porsche has seen a 30% decline in vehicle deliveries within the first half of the year alone.

The new CEO, Michael Leiter, has already expressed concerns over Porsche's future prospects in China, including a potential drop below 30,000 vehicles shipped per year if the trend continues. Additionally, the reduction in Porsche's workforce is expected to total around 4,100 employees, on top of the already agreed-upon 4,000 job cuts.
