Porsche announced that despite multiple challenges, it maintained strong delivery figures in the first half of the current year.

Porsche informed that the global market situations of the first half of the year were different and therefore the delivery figures for different regions and markets varied. In Europe, the premium automaker delivered 43,087 units, a 7% year-on-year increase. In Germany, Porsche made 13,785 deliveries in the first six months of 2022, a 5% year-on-year increase.

Around 21,616 units of Porsche 911 were delivered worldwide. Detlev von Platen, Member of the Board of Directors for Sales and Marketing at Porsche AG, said: “In addition to the difficulties posed by the resurgence of the COVID pandemic in China and other markets, ongoing challenges related to supply chain and logistics have been with us. At the same time, the desirability of our brand and the popularity of our products remain strong. We expect the second half to be dynamic. As in previous years, we are optimistic about the future and determined to go full steam ahead for the remaining months of the year.”
