In addition, the 918 Spyder with plug-in-hybrid
drive has been available for order since March 2011.
Porsche is working flat out to bring the model to
series production. The first vehicles are slated for
delivery from November 2013. Thanks to the hybrid
technology, the high-performance sports car is ex-
pected to consume just three liters of fuel per 100
km in the NEDC (New European Driving Cycle). The
500-hp V8 engine is supported by two electric motors
with a total of at least 218 hp.
Sustainable use of resources at Porsche
Today more than ever, global challenges such
as resource shortages and climate change demand
future-oriented solutions from Porsche that transcend
national borders and industry boundaries. The envi-
ronmental impact of all operating activities – from
development to production to sales – has to be con-
sidered as a whole and integrated into Porsche
group's entrepreneurial activities. Porsche has intro-
duced the group environmental management guideline,
which is applicable worldwide.
The primary goals of the Porsche Zwischen-
holding GmbH group include saving natural resources,
using energy efficiently and ensuring the environ-
mental compatibility of all activities and products.
Porsche has now been mastering this challenge for
years. Porsche has had an environmental system
validated to EMAS at its Stuttgart-Zuffenhausen loca-
tion since 1996, which has additionally been certified
to ISO 14001 since 1999. Further milestones in the
company's environmental protection included certifi-
cation to ISO 14001 at the Leipzig, Weissach and
Sachsenheim locations as well as the integration of
Porsche's resource and energy management into the
existing environmental management system.
In the fiscal year 2011, the Porsche Zwi-
schenholding GmbH group's environmental efforts
reached a new level with the first-time certification of
the energy management system. Porsche's produc-
tion in Zuffenhausen is the first automotive plant in the
world to meet the new ISO 50001 standard "Energy
management systems – requirements with guidance
for use". Porsche Leipzig GmbH and the central spare
parts warehouse in Sachsenheim have also success-
fully qualified for ISO 50001 certification.
Porsche assumes responsibility for environ-
mental protection and sustainable use of resources.
This is repeatedly demonstrated not only by fore-
sighted action and the continuously setting of new
environmental goals, such as "2.5 percent resource
or energy savings per project", but also through effec-
tive monitoring measures.
With the commissioning of its new paint shop
Porsche has set its new standards worldwide. Innova-
tive technologies ensure that the progressive concept
achieves its goals of reducing emissions and lowering
energy and resource consumption while increasing
quality.
At the engine plant in Stuttgart-Zuffenhausen,
the standardized hot tests have been reduced to
around one to two percent through the introduction of
cold tests. This decreases energy and fuel consump-
tion, as well as emissions.
The new plant technology at the central
Stuttgart-Zuffenhausen power plant contributes to
greater energy efficiency. The construction and start-
up of the new boilers and a combined heating and
power plant reduce resource consumption and emis-
sion considerably.
In the central logistics department, costs,
time and quality are the key factors, with environ-
mental protection as the fourth decisive factor. An
ecological orientation saves resources and thus re-
duces costs for the long term. This is why Porsche
specifies packaging standards for new parts before
they are delivered. The aim is to keep packaging to a
minimum while maintaining defined quality levels,
avoid single-use packaging and use recyclable mate-
rials instead. As a result of these measures, more
than 95 percent of supplied parts are now provided in
returnable containers.
The many activities relating to the environ-
ment at the Zuffenhausen location are presented in
the environmental declaration for 2011, which is
