پورشه فعلا علاقه‌ای به احداث کارخانه در آمریکا ندارد

Porsche has confirmed that it has no plans to construct a factory in the United States, choosing instead to continue producing and exporting all of its vehicles, including popular SUV models, from Europe. Company executives pointed to low production volume as the primary reason for avoiding the establishment of a production line in North America.

Jochen Breckner, Chief Financial Officer of Porsche, emphasized that moving final assembly processes to the United States would not resolve supply chain cost issues. European cars exported to the US currently face a 15 percent import tariff alongside a 2.5 percent base rate, creating significant financial pressure for automakers. Breckner noted that the company will still need to export engines and other components to the United States. Regarding trade policy and tax impacts, he added that Porsche has based its business model on the assumption that the 15 percent tariffs will remain in place.

Porsche estimates that the costs stemming from the 15 percent tariffs will reach several hundred million euros in 2026, a figure that stood at approximately 500 million euros during the first nine months of 2025. Even the Porsche Cayenne, despite being one of the company's best-selling global products, will not receive a dedicated US production line because splitting limited production volumes across two continents lacks economic viability.

Porsche's decision differs significantly from the approach taken by Audi, another subsidiary of the Volkswagen Group, which recently dedicated a four billion dollar investment to establish a factory in Georgia. Audi's new facility, featuring an annual capacity of 200,000 SUVs, is set to create about 4,500 jobs by 2031 to mitigate the impact of heavy import tariffs.

Porsche's vehicle deliveries dropped 16 percent to 178,532 units over a nine-month period, though the company reported an operating profit of 387 million euros for the third quarter. To improve sales, Stuttgart executives are focusing on releasing a new generation of gasoline-powered SUVs in 2028 as a successor to the Porsche Macan, rather than opening a factory in the US.
