- Environmental protection is part of Porsche policy. Environmental management is central to our corporate policy. In many cases we not only achieve, but also far exceed, the environmental targets set.
- Porsche environmental management systems are independently tested and certified.
- Porsche reduces fuel consumption – and consequently CO2 emissions – by 1.7 % annually.
- The vehicle inventory in Germany and Europe accounts for less than 12 % of CO2 emissions – with Porsche vehicles contributing less than 0.1 %.
- In proportion to performance (g/km per hp), Porsche is one of the manufacturers with the lowest CO2 emissions from its vehicles.
- Since 2008, all new Porsche sportscars with petrol engines have met the requirements of the Euro 5 emissions standard which comes into effect from September 2009.
- With the petrol-engined Cayenne, fuel consumption in everyday use has already been reduced by around 15 % due to direct fuel injection (DFI).*
- Designing petrol engines to be driven on up to 10 % ethanol (up to 25 % for the Cayenne, depending on the country) further reduces CO2 emissions.
- The Cayenne will also be available with a hybrid engine in 2010. There will also be a new Panamera model with a hybrid engine.
- In the new 911 models, DFI will be used together with the optional Porsche Doppelkupplung (PDK) to reduce fuel consumption by up to 13 % and CO2 emissions by up to 15 %, depending on the model.*
- In the new Cayman and Boxster models, depending
on the model, the optional PDK will reduce fuel
consumption by up to
15 % and CO2 emissions by up to 16 %. - In the new Panamera, the auto start/stop function
used for the first time by Porsche will, in conjunction
with PDK, reduce fuel consumption: in the city, by
up to 10 % and overall by more than
5 %.*
* The fuel consumption reduction figures given are based on combined use in the NEDC (New European Driving Cycle) in the regulations applicable to the vehicles concerned. For the auto start/stop function of the Panamera, the figures do not relate to an individual vehicle but are intended solely as a means of comparing different vehicle types and are based on provisional technical data.
