Mobility in Pilot Regions program, the German Federal
Ministry of Transport, Building and Urban Develop-
ment is funding eight pilot regions to the tune of 115
million euro from this support package. The individual
projects are aimed at raising public awareness of
electric mobility, testing various ways of introducing it,
and accelerating the launch of electrical vehicles on
the mass market.
Under the umbrella of the pilot region, the
group is building and testing three electric sports
cars based on the Porsche Boxster. Various aspects –
including battery durability, charge and discharge
cycles, range and acceptance of electrical vehicles
and charging stations, and traffic safety in everyday
conditions – will be comprehensively tested. Custom-
ers’ specific expectations of sports cars will also be
taken into consideration.
Smart combination of drive concepts
With Porsche Intelligent Performance, Por-
sche is proving that sports car appeal and exclusive
premium quality are compatible with lower fuel con-
sumption, and that increased performance does not
have to exclude reduced CO2 emissions. 2010 saw
the launch of the Cayenne S Hybrid, for which a tech-
nically sophisticated parallel full hybrid drive was
developed. The system is characterized by a complex
interplay between a gasoline engine and an electric
motor. On the one hand, the car can be powered by
the gasoline engine, with the electric motor acting as
an electricity generator. On the other, the nickel-metal-
hydride battery allows the Cayenne Hybrid to be run
on electricity alone at speeds of up to 60 km/ h.
Based on the NEDC (New European Driving Cycle),
fuel consumption is 8.2 liters per 100 kilometers. And
with CO2 emissions of 193 grams per kilometer, the
Cayenne S Hybrid boasts the lowest CO2 levels in the
Porsche subgroup’s model portfolio to date.
The Panamera S Hybrid will go on the market
in June 2011. The vehicle, which debuted at the
Geneva International Motor Show in March 2011,
boasts even lower CO2 emissions than the Cayenne S
Hybrid. Without sacrificing sportiness or elegance,
the new Gran Turismo combines a total mechanical

Environmental management in the Porsche
Zwischenholding GmbH group
The mobility of tomorrow presents challenges
and opportunities for Germany in terms of business
and technology. New concepts and technologies offer
solutions for protecting the environment and saving
resources. They are an important indicator of growth
and employment in the German automobile and auto-
motive supplier industry. In light of this, the German
federal government launched the National Develop-
ment Plan for Electric Mobility in 2009. This provided
the basis for the foundation of the National Platform
for Electric Mobility on 3 May 2010. The platform
comprises representatives from industry, science,
politics, trades unions and society, with the common
goal of making Germany a leading market for and
supplier of electromobility solutions – and putting at
least a million electric vehicles on Germany’s roads by
2020. Porsche supports these goals with innovative
technology, forward-looking concepts and solutions,
including vehicles powered entirely by electricity.
Since early 2010, the company has partici-
pated in the joint Stuttgart Electric Mobility Pilot Re-
gion initiative, part of the National Development Plan
for Electric Mobility. From 2009 to mid-2011, the
German federal government will provide total funding
of 500 million euro to support measures for promot-
ing market readiness and the expansion of electric
mobility nationwide. Within the scope of its Electric
