Porsche was revealed to have sought cooperation with BYD, Li Auto and Weilai, but was rejected – yqqlm

Fast Technology News on July 31. Recently, Volkswagen and Xiaopeng Motors have reached a strategic cooperation. Volkswagen will pay technology fees to Xiaopeng Motors and use the technology platform of Xiaopeng Motors to develop electric vehicles, which has aroused heated discussions among netizens. In fact, Volkswagen may not be the only car company that can put down its arrogance and “learn lessons” from Chinese car companies.

It is reported that Porsche said on Wednesday that it was considering investing up to 3.3 billion US dollars to build a factory, and is currently negotiating with potential financial and strategic partners.

According to intelligence shared by auto analyst @Jas0nYu,Volkswagen’s Porsche has sought platform cooperation from BYD, Ideal and Weilai, but they were all rejected in the end.He believes that the cooperation between Xiaopeng and Volkswagen is based on what they need, and Japanese and Korean brands will gradually give up the Chinese market.

Porsche said last week that it was under pressure to speed up its electrification transition, and the launch of several major electric vehicles, including the all-electric Macan, had to be delayed due to software failures. Meanwhile, deliveries of the Taycan, Porsche’s only all-electric model, fell 5 percent in the first half due to parts shortages.

Porsche CEO Oliver Blume has previously stated that the company will invest more than 20 billion euros (about 21.9 billion U.S. dollars) in the field of electrification and digitalization in the next few years, and plans to strive to make 80% of new car sales as pure electric models by 2030. .

In 2024, Porsche will launch a pure electric version of the Macan, followed by a pure electric version of the 718, and a pure electric version of the Cayenne. In addition, a new D-class pure electric product will also be launched.

But at present, Porsche’s road to electrification transformation is not smooth. at present,Only the Porsche Taycan, a pure electric model, is on sale, and Porsche does not have a clear lead in terms of cockpit intelligence and automatic assisted driving.

If Porsche can find a qualified partner in China like Volkswagen, the efficiency of its new model development work will be greatly improved.
