Porsche’s manufacturing chief, Albrecht Reimold, explains the carmaker’s progress towards sustainable, connected manufacturing as it gears up to build more electric vehicles.
Porsche’s top executive for manufacturing, responsible for overseeing this transformation, is Albrecht Reimold, who has been board member for production and logistics since 2016. As Porsche invests €15 billion ($17.8 billion) in electric mobility, sustainable production and digital transformation, Reimold is ensuring that manufacturing keeps pace. He sees all these areas as interconnected, particularly that electric vehicle and sustainable production will depend on Porsche and the Volkswagen Group continuing to evolve a connected, digital manufacturing system.
