Porsche says it is ready to boost production of the all-electric Taycan after the first year of sales if it needs to.

Prior to the Taycan being unveiled at the Frankfurt Motor Show, Porsche intended on building 20,000 units in the first year. This remains its immediate goal although it will add another 500 new jobs at its Stuttgart-Zuffenhausen in the second quarter of 2020 to provide “itself with the necessary flexibility to be able to produce more units if necessary.”

“With the Taycan, we are showing that e-mobility is by no means a job killer. Rather, we are underlining its future viability, especially in the sports car segment,” member of the executive board for human resources and social affairs at Porsche, Andreas Haffner, said. “In addition, more than 32,000 applications show how great the interest is in shaping the future of the sports car together with us.”

Porsche will fill the 1500 new positions it originally planned to support production of the Taycan in the coming days after kicking off this new round of hires in May 2018.

The German car manufacturer has been training up Taycan production employees since February this year at temporary qualification halls and other specially-constructed training centers. In total, Porsche has developed 45 different training plans with courses running from one month to six months to ensure that employees are fully prepared for this new age of electric mobility from the company.
