\u201cChina is leading the way in future mobility, combining electrification, digitalization, and new luxury concepts,\u201d said Dr. Oliver Blume, Chairman of the Executive Board of Porsche AG, at the opening ceremony. \u201cSolving the challenges of this transformation isn\u2019t possible from afar \u2013 it has to happen here. The China R&D is a strategic pillar that connects German engineering with China’s digital future. This center will help us move faster, learn more, and strengthen Porsche R&D globally.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The new R&D facility consolidates Porsche\u2019s existing operations \u2013 including the Technical Division, Porsche Engineering China, and Porsche Digital China \u2013 into a single, comprehensive hub.

The Shanghai R&D hub is already delivering results. Its first major achievement is a next-generation, China-exclusive infotainment system, set to launch across several Porsche model lines starting mid-2026.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Porsche\u2019s journey in China began in 2014 with the establishment of Porsche Engineering\u2019s Shanghai office. This was followed by the founding of Porsche Digital China in 2021 and the launch of a local R&D satellite in 2022.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
