Diesel vehicles that the company has recently manufactured seem to be out of line with the law. Nothing new if you follow the relevant media attentively. The exhaust gas scandal affects the VW subsidiary, Audi but also other brands. The responsible persons of Porsche have decided now for a drastic step. Porsche will no longer develop new models that use diesel engines. Gasoline engines, hybrid engines and electric vehicles are now the focus of interest. In this way, Porsche wants to regain the trust of its customers and carry out an image change. Addressing new customer groups as well as their orientation into the future are also goals.
No more diesel vehicles in the range in the future
The Stuttgart-based company is the first German company to use this technology completely. Porsche CEO Oliver Blume announced this and caused a stir with the decision. He sees other drive models as future-proof and would like to place them increasingly on the market. They are available from 2019 and should provide better sales. Of course, the reorientation is also a response to the exhaust gas issue. The company's image has suffered from this, which is why demand has fallen. Although Porsche produces no diesel engines itself, but the drives used do not comply with the regulations and the end user does not know the context. Therefore, there is currently apparently no diesel model that is really legal. Consequently, there was a sales stop all vehicles with a diesel engine.
other reasons that led to the decision
In addition, a sharpening of the sports profile of Porsche is planned. Gasoline engines fit better into the picture, as they are more efficient and more powerful and have made the brand big. It comes to an improvement in handling characteristics, which always connects the buyer with this car brand. Diesel engines, on the other hand, have other features that are no longer as important to the business and have never been important to many customers. Therefore, the global corporation sorts them out and turns its attention back to gasoline engines. Of course, it continues to provide support to customers who have opted for a diesel engine. The service for this remains unchanged and repairs are no problem.
Manipulation allegations against Porsche are in the room
There are allegations that it has come to further fraud attempts. The used "emotionalizing function" is a target of investigations. With this, the company should have tried that there is an improvement in engine noise on the road. Although sound design is a common means of improvement that every manufacturer applies, there are no devices that can be turned off on a test bench to falsify the results. However, the experts have proven this facility with the 8 cylinder Cayenne EU5, Oliver Blume had to admit. Of the allegations by the Kraftfahrt-Bundesamt around 13.500 cars are affected.
