Porsche Future Package outlines long-term workforce and investment strategy

Porsche Future Package represents the company’s latest agreement to secure employment stability and strengthen manufacturing capabilities through 2035. On July 27, Porsche AG announced that the package includes job and site protection measures alongside planned investments. The agreement was reached between the Executive Board, General Works Council, IG Metall union, and Südwestmetall employers' association. The strategy focuses on maintaining key production locations while adapting operations to future market conditions in the automotive sector.

The company plans to reduce approximately 5,000 additional jobs by 2035 through natural attrition, partial retirement, and voluntary severance programs. Porsche stated that these workforce adjustments will take place without compulsory layoffs. The approach is designed to gradually align employee structures with future business requirements while maintaining operational continuity. The agreement highlights a balance between cost optimization, employee protection, and long-term competitiveness within the premium passenger vehicle market.

Porsche adjusts compensation and workplace arrangements

As part of the Future Package, Porsche will defer 3.5% of current and future agreed pay increases for employees covered under its pay framework until 2035. Senior and top management will also reduce parts of their salary increases planned for 2027 and 2028. Additionally, bonus payments will become more closely connected to company performance. The maximum number of mobile working days will be reduced from 12 to 8 per month as part of updated workplace arrangements.

EUR 2.1 billion investment supports German production facilities

Porsche plans to invest EUR 2.1 billion in its Zuffenhausen and Weissach facilities in Germany. The investment will support continued production of two-door sports cars at Zuffenhausen, expansion of the Sonderwunsch customization program, and continued development activities for all model lines at Weissach. These initiatives demonstrate Porsche’s commitment to maintaining advanced engineering and production capabilities while preparing its facilities for future vehicle programs and customer requirements.

Operational changes included in future business planning

The Future Package also introduces changes to break arrangements and production cycle times as Porsche works to improve manufacturing efficiency. These adjustments are part of broader operational measures aimed at strengthening the company’s competitiveness in a changing automotive environment.
