IT之家 March 31 - According to "Red Star" reports today, the bidding for Porsche's advanced driving project is nearing completion. Many companies in China participated in this tender, making the competition fierce. Sources say that the advanced driving project of Porsche will go to a leading company.

It is reported that this is Porsche's urgent catch-up in intelligence. In addition to adopting domestic intelligent driving suppliers, Porsche has also conducted a second large-scale expansion of its Chinese technology team, focusing on strengthening the capabilities in the cockpit and intelligent driving.

The report also mentioned that the responsibilities of the expanded technical team have changed, from being responsible for testing German models domestically to fully participating in intelligentization. Porsche's intelligentization development is further shifting towards the domestic market.

Porsche's group sales revenue for 2024 was 40.1 billion euros (IT News note: equivalent to approximately 315.016 billion RMB at current exchange rates), a decrease of 1% compared to the previous year's 4.05 billion euros; operating profit was 5.6 billion euros (equivalent to approximately 43.992 billion RMB at current exchange rates), compared to 7.3 billion euros in the same period last year; the operating return on sales was 14.1%, compared to 18.0% in the same period last year.

In 2024, Porsche delivered 310,718 vehicles, setting sales records in four out of five global regions, including Europe, Germany, North America, and overseas and emerging markets, despite a challenging environment. However, due to ongoing challenges in the Chinese market, deliveries slightly decreased compared to the previous year's 320,221 units.
