Porsche Cars Australia donates $250,000 to Australian bushfire recovery causes
Porsche Cars Australia has donated a total of $250,000 (AUD) to charitable causes to aid recovery efforts following the catastrophic bushfires in Australia this most recent summer.
“The bushfires this summer were horrific and everyone at Porsche was keen to contribute to the recovery efforts,” said Sam Curtis, Managing Director & CEO, Porsche Cars Australia.
“We asked our staff for suggestions of charitable causes and have now made donations to five causes, a balance of helping people, animals and the land.”
The five organisations to receive $50,000 donations are:
Wildlife Victoria
The Victorian Bushfire Appeal
Gippsland Emergency Relief Fund
NSW Rural Fire Service (Oberon/Jenolan Caves Station)
From Track Experiences to the Ice Experience in Finland, the Taycan is now an integral part of Porsche’s customer driving programmes. However, not everywhere provides the adequate infrastructure for charging the electric sports car en masse. Meet Porsche’s innovative solution: a fleet of stand-alone, high-power charging trucks that offer mobile charging on demand.
Although synthetic fuels are considered a realistic alternative to make car traffic more climate-friendly, availability is poor. Porsche wants to change this. “With electricity alone, you can't move forward fast enough,” says Michael Steiner, who is in charge of R&D at Porsche.
After a challenging first half of 2020, Porsche AG achieved a return on sales of 9.9 per cent. The sales revenue of 12.42 billion euros is 7.3 percent down on the previous year; the return on sales of 1.23 billion euros fell by 26.3 percent compared to 2019.
