Porsche releases Sportwagenschmiede'35 mid-term strategy with organizational streamlining and product refocus

Porsche recently released its 'Sportwagenschmiede'35' mid-term strategy oriented toward 2035, which streamlines the organization (mid-term reduction of 40% of management positions and up to 30% of functional department headcount), merges Porsche Engineering and Porsche Digital into a Porsche technology company, plans to cut about 20% of model derivatives, targets up to 20% lower vehicle development costs and up to 30% lower production labor costs, and commits to continuing internal-combustion and plug-in hybrid development alongside electric models, with the electric 718 Boxster and Cayman slated for full-year production from 2028. The plan builds on a previously agreed consensus between management and labor representatives to cut about 9,000 jobs by 2035, roughly one fifth of the workforce, and sets mid-term revenue of EUR 41-45 billion with a long-term 15% return-on-sales target.
