Porsche is preparing another round of restructuring as Chinese sales fall, US tariffs bite and EV demand slows, with Reuters reporting plans to raise total job cuts to about 9,000 positions by 2035 while the company refocuses on the 911 and premium SUVs and works more closely with Audi to cut costs.
Volkswagen Group, Mercedes-Benz, BMW and Porsche all lost China sales in Q2 2026, led by a 36.6% drop for VW Group and 28% for Porsche, as buyers shift to faster-moving domestic EV brands.
Oliver Blume told staff in an internal memo that Volkswagen Group may need to cut 50,000 more jobs on top of the 50,000 already agreed, potentially reaching 100,000 total. He cited costs roughly 20% above competitors, weak China sales, US tariffs, and underused European plants.
Porsche AG is headquartered in Stuttgart-Zuffenhausen, Germany. Volkswagen Group controls approximately 75% of the company; the remainder trades on the Frankfurt Stock Exchange. The Macan compact SUV has been Porsche’s volume driver since 2014, currently transitioning to all-electric on the PPE platform (shared with Audi).
