Production over three floors
With open space a scarce commodity at the main production plant in Zuffenhausen, the new Taycan production facility was built upwards. Production of the first all-electric Porsche model is done on floors one and two, while quality inspection is conducted on the ground floor. From there, the cars are transported by means of a conveyor bridge to a new loading terminal—and thus set on their way to customers. A new benchmark in automotive production: from the Mission E concept car to the finished product in just four years.
Ready to shape the future
The zero-emission Taycan is also manufactured CO₂ neutrally in Zuffenhausen. This is achieved using green energy, biogas, and energy-efficient production buildings. The new plant at the headquarters in Zuffenhausen is the very prototype of a Zero Impact Factory.Smart, lean, and green.
Porsche Production 4.0
There are times when one senses that history is in the making. That the sun is shining when the new Taycan plant in Zuffenhausen is dedicated—in perfect synchronicity with the International Motor Show—makes it seem all the more auspicious. Zero Impact, Porsche Production 4.0, is yet another step toward manufacturing without detrimental effects on the environment—but with an unquestionably positive impact on the brand. Looking at the overall picture, the achievement is more than impressive: turning the Mission E concept car into the first series-production, all-electric Porsche in the blink of an eye. Not to mention a plant that’s CO2 neutral. And a new quality of work stations—ergonomic, digital, beyond all conventional conceptions of an assembly line. Superlatives taken up a notch: the modern Taycan production facility was created within the existing main plant. It was built in the midst of production of the Porsche 911 and Porsche 718. Taking pains not to disturb the neighbors in Zuffenhausen, of course. And all without delays. A dominant performance from start to finish, as is Porsche’s wont. Beyond the environmental balance of the product and plant, the new Taycan working world is equally groundbreaking. It typifies in ideal fashion how people in the industrial future will benefit from automation and digital assistance, with room to grow as well. So the new Taycan is more than just a fascinating product—it exemplifies an era of forward thinking as well as responsibility toward employees, the environment, and what may be the most fascinating brand in the world.
People are at the center of the endeavor.
New prospects and a wealth of experience
Exacting recruiting process: in selecting the many specialists required for Taycan production, Porsche has opted for a combination of new employees and experienced colleagues from 718 and 911 production. The goal is to assemble a team with as many different talents and areas of expertise as possible.
