The announcements are as follows:

Porsche model shipments

• In the first quarter of 2020, the Cayenne was the most shipped model, with 18,417 units worldwide.

As a pun, "No, it's good (18,417)" is a good feeling! (Unnecessary comment)

• Next is Macan, with 15,547 units.

• Porsche 911 is also very popular, with 8,482 units. This number is an increase of 16% compared to the same period of the previous year.

I'll do it, as expected Porsche 911! (I'm Nanimono ...)

• Porsche's first fully electric vehicle, the Taycan, has already shipped 1,391 units to customers in the first quarter since it hit the market at the end of 2019.

About the effects of coronavirus

• It's clear that coronavirus has an impact on shipments, but Porsche's focus right now is to unite with business partners around the world.

• By working hard together, we will be able to respond quickly and appropriately toward future development.

This is what Porsche AG's Detlev von Platen (Sales & Marketing Executive Officer) said.

• After this tough first quarter, it is actively preparing to resume production of cars that are currently out of production.

• However, Porsche's top priority has always been the health of its employees, its retail partner employees and, of course, Porsche's customers.

• I positively see the outlook as good. Because there is a clear recovery in the Chinese market. Almost all Porsche centers in China are already reopening.

Still strong markets remain in China and the United States

• In the first quarter of 2020, Porsche reached 14,098 customers in China, the highest number delivered to a single market.

• The United States ranks second, with shipments of 11,994 units.

• In Germany, there are 5,214 units, and in Europe as a whole, there are 16,787 units.

• The total number of units shipped to Asia, Africa and the Middle East is 22,031 units.

Here is a table that summarizes the numerical values.

Looking at this, of the 22,031 units delivered to Asia Pacific, Africa and the Middle East, 14,098 units are from China ... and the rest are "7,933 units".

Ue. In Asia Pacific, Africa, and the Middle East other than China, a total of 7,933 units ... But in China alone, 14,098 units ... So, when I think about it, I feel that the tremendous sales volume in China can be better understood.

I have no idea what the effects of the coronavirus are, how they actually sound, how much they sound, and how long they will affect them.

Since it is still unknown what the situation of coronavirus will be in the future, I think that even Porsche can not predict even their own numbers.

In the second quarter, I wonder if there will be a bigger difference in the numbers compared to the previous year, but anyway, now the corona will end sooner and not only Porsche but everything will recover. I hope that!
