Doing away with diesel vehicles
Indicating the company’s shift towards manufacturing eco-friendly vehicles, Porsche has launched hybrid powertrain in products such as the Cayenne and Panamera.

Porsche has decided to move away from manufacturing diesel vehicles. Porsche will launch four products in India over the next 8-10 months to reverse its fortunes as sales remained subdued in 2018. The luxury sports car maker’s sales dropped by 19% to 348 units in 2018 from 430 in 2017.

As governments across the world are urging vehicle manufacturers to develop vehicles that emit less or no carbon, luxury vehicle manufacturers, including Volvo AG and Porsche, have decided to stop manufacturing diesel vehicles.
