According to Bloomberg, it involves final assembly
Porsche is considering moving parts of the assembly process of its cars to the United States. With this, the German sports car manufacturer wants to mitigate the impact of the 25 percent import tariffs imposed by US President Donald Trump on cars. This is reported by insiders to news agency Bloomberg.
Porsche, part of the Volkswagen Group, could, according to the sources, move certain final steps in the final assembly process from Germany to the US. For example, installing interior parts or mounting tires. The insiders said that other measures are also being considered and that Volkswagen CEO Oliver Blume has indicated that all options are on the table.
Porsche does not currently produce in the US, making the company vulnerable to the levies. A spokesperson for the car manufacturer tells Bloomberg that there are currently no plans to produce in the US.
