In the deep crisis on the car market, assets – possession are now looking for new business areas – and sometimes flirting with the weapons.
Billion losses are written, desperate managers put the red pencil where possible. Not enough, the American customs policy, which could have considerable economic consequences, causes extra uncertainty. The mentioned Porsche SE posture currently has a net loss of 20 billion euros.
Now – in addition to the car participation – an eye is being kept for a third pillar, as CEO Hans Dieter Pötsch has confirmed according to “Manager Magazin”. The focus can be on the defender sector here.
“Leopard” goes back to Porsche
The Bundeswehr is not a new territory for the group. From 1958 de Dr. Ing. HC F. Porsche GmbH as a general contractor under the name “Type 814” The new standard tank for the young Bundeswehr, reports, among other things, the magazine “European safety and technology”. The findings from the World War in which the Porsche -Building Office had been involved were particularly important here. When the vehicle was served in October 1963, it was baptized on “Leopard”.
Porsche tried to continue to order the federal republic – with the Porsche Type 597. Because of the open body, the off -road vehicle was also called a “bucket car”. As typical of Porsche, the vehicle of the Civil Porsche 356 was powered with an air -cooled four -cylinder boxer engine. However, the Porsche did not make the troop attempt – he was defeated by the Munga of the then Auto Union (today Audi A6). The Bundeswehr was introduced in 1956 under the name “Truck 0.25 to GL”.
Participation in drones
For the time being, the Porsche SE will probably strive for business participations. According to the magazine “European Security & Technology”, she has been involved in the Drone-Startup Quantum systems since 2024. There are also drones that are also used militarily.
