The cause is war ... Impact of lack of supply from Ukraine
Just a few days ago I wrote that Porsche will temporarily stop production of Macan and Panamera.
Here is the article→ Porsche suspends production of Macan and Panamera (Leipzig factory)
It was said that the reason for the suspension of production was the lack of wire harnesses purchased from Ukraine, so I thought that it would affect other models in the future, but it is still like that. ..
Taycan production suspended
According to a report by Reuters this time, in Porsche, in addition to the Macan and Panamera currently produced at the Leipzig plant, the Taycan produced at the Zuffenhausen plant in Stuttgart will also be suspended.
The production suspension period of Taycan is from the afternoon of March 9, 2022 (Wednesday) to next weekend for the time being.
According to reports, Porsche says that there are no plans to stop production of Porsche 911 and 718, which are also produced at the Zuffenhausen factory ... If a picture like "Email" is leaked and this is correct information, it is expected that 911 and others will be discontinued in the future.
If this memo is correct, production in March 2022 will be partially discontinued as follows:
- Macan & Panamera: March 2nd ~
- Taycan: From March 3rd
- Cayenne: From March 7th
- Porsche 718 Cayman & Boxster: March 14-
- Porsche 911 GT3 / Touring: March 17-
- Porsche 911: March 31-
However, regarding Taycan, it is written from March 3 in the memo, but according to Reuters news, it is from March 9 according to the information from Porsche, so there may be some deviation. I think.
In addition, there is no information in the memo that the production will be stopped.
Furthermore, just in case, this memo is not "official" at all, and there is currently no convincing evidence that it was issued for employees or dealers, so it is still "" If this was true ".
When overseas media inquired about this matter to Porsche, it seems that it will operate on a short-term basis in the next few days to weeks and will continue to consider the situation.
That's because the situation is already a situation, so even Porsche wants to say "I do not know the future!"
It may also lead to a shortage of semiconductors.
By the way, it is said that what is currently lacking in the main is the wire harness purchased from Ukraine, but Ukraine seems to be the neon source of about 70% in the world, and this neon is used for manufacturing semiconductor chips. It seems to be an important gas to move the necessary laser.
In other words, if these supply chains are affected, we will not be able to make semiconductor chips again! Therefore, it is possible that the situation will worsen.
Well, what is it really?
Until a while ago, GT4 RS was cool! want! GT3 is cool! want! It was supposed to be (full of worldly desires (laughs)), but when I see that this situation is happening now, it is not a new Porsche, but anyway, first of all, I will return to the "peaceful world" including various things. I want it.
