Because of supply chain problems caused by conflicts in Ukraine
The other day, there was news that BMW and VW would temporarily stop production due to supply chain problems, so if you thought that this would also come Porsche.
After all it has come. Production of Porsche is also suspended.
Production of Macan and Panamera stopped at Leipzig factory
This time, the target is a factory in Porsche Leipzig, Germany, and the two models manufactured at this factory, Macan and Panamera, will be temporarily suspended.
According to a Porsche AG spokesman, the production suspension period is "from Wednesday afternoon to the end of next week", which probably means from March 2nd to March 12th, 2022.
On Monday, March 1stA ship carrying many Porsche sankHowever, from March 2nd (Tuesday), production will be forced to stop ... What (tears and tears).
At the moment, production of 911 and Taycan is still ongoing
What's still good at this point, according to Porsche AG, is that production will continue this week at the Stuttgart-Zuffenhausen plant, which manufactures the Taycan and 911. And that.
However, if the situation in Ukraine is not resolved, the situation will not improve, so it may be inevitable that all factories (all models) will be affected if this situation continues.
It is said that Porsche AG will continue to judge the situation for the next few days to weeks, and the task force by experts will continue to judge the degree of influence on Porsche's business activities, etc. It is said that it will be decided.
Maybe because of the wire harness procured from Ukraine
And according to a person familiar with the industry (again, such a person (laughs)), Porsche, along with Volkswagen and Skoda, procured wire harnesses from western Ukraine.
By the way, BMW also uses wire harnesses manufactured in Ukraine.
It seems that these are (one of) because they are no longer available due to Russia's invasion of Ukraine.
By the way, a wire harness is an important part that bundles cables for up to 5km in an average car. amazing. And they are different for each manufacturer and model, and it is impossible to manufacture a car without this.
Ah,With this, my GT3 will go away again ~(Tears tears)! !!
Well, I didn't order the 911 GT3, and I wasn't even in the "I want to buy" line ^^.
It doesn't get closer or farther (laughs).
anyway!
I pray that all the different situations will move in the right direction as soon as possible.
