Porsche's Leipzig plant now supports electromobility

Where to make a full electric car Macan

In Germany, the Porsche factory in Leipzig is preparing to support electromobility, and the construction work is proceeding as planned.

In the future, this Leipzig plant will produce Porsche Macan, the third generation and the first fully electric vehicle version.

Currently, it seems that the exterior work of the new factory has been completed.

Next, we are now in the stage of setting up a plant for manufacturing automobiles in the building that was built.

"In the last few weeks, the Leipzig factory has reached a very important milestone in becoming an electromobility site," said Porsche Leipzig chairman Gerd Rupp.

He went on to say, "It will be a very challenging time from now until the production of the next generation Macan begins, but it proves that we are one team and the factory that will be built from now on. It's also an opportunity to make it available in the future. "

Since the start of construction in February 2000, Porsche has invested more than 1.3 billion euros in the development of this Leipzig plant.

Fifth plant expansion

And this time Porsche has invested more than 600 million euros in this Leipzig site to promote this project.

In March 2019, the total area of the new body shop will be 75,500 square meters.

Leipzig City also welcomes Porsche factory

Although the official ceremony was canceled due to the influence of Corona, Burkhard Jung, the mayor of Leipzig, visited (visited) the Leipzig factory in Porsche on July 3, 2020.

For the city of Leipzig, I think that the new Porsche factory for the future will be a great asset ^ ^

In addition to working in the new body shop, the assembly line has also changed significantly, so that we can work during the summer shutdown of the factory scheduled for summer (that's right). The current production line is being expanded.

When the work is completed, it will be possible to produce Porsche of three different drive types on one production line, and what are the three different drive types:

• Gasoline car
• Hybrid car
• Full electric car

Three of.

The new production line setup will give the Porsche Leipzig plant maximum flexibility.

Porsche Turbo Charging Park

The customer center is already ready for electric vehicles, and in February 2020, it will set up a quick charging park called Porsche Turbo Charging, which can provide a total capacity of 7 MW. ..

This fast charging park is one of the most powerful charging parks in Europe, and its operation is based solely on electricity from renewable energy sources.

By the way, for this Leipzig factory in Porsche, electromobility is not a completely new concept, in fact it is a place that has been producing hybrid cars for 10 years.

Therefore, everyone who works at the Leipzig factory already has experience handling cars with different drive types, and he is looking forward to starting production of fully electric vehicles in addition to the current hybrid model in the future.

The day when Macan will become a fully electric car is finally approaching ^ ^
