Porsche Engineering established a site in Beijing to better meet the needs of the Chinese market, particularly in automated driving, connectivity, infotainment, and assistance systems.
The new location extends and complements the competencies of Porsche Engineering, a technology service provider and a wholly owned subsidiary of Porsche, at its other Chinese site in Shanghai, where over 130 employees are already working on various high-tech automotive projects.
According to Peter Schäfer, CEO and Chairman of Porsche Engineering in China, developments for China are ideally pursued there as only there with the engineers are close enough to the market and customers to develop China-specific functions.
The demands of Chinese customers are becoming more specific and exacting.
Vehicle systems and development methods for China are largely carried out locally to cater to the special characteristics of the country, adds Uwe Pichler-Necek, CEO of Porsche Engineering in China.
