Full of Energy: a holistic approach to climate protection
Porsche has a special idea of progress, which is to combine performance and sustainability. The sports car manufacturer calls it “Double E.” It takes courage, teamwork, and pioneering spirit. Although electromobility is a top priority, Porsche is also focusing on eFuels. Renewable, synthetic fuels can potentially make combustion engines close to carbon-neutral. At a pilot plant, Porsche and partners are demonstrating how production can work on an industrial scale.

Porsche engineer Otmar Bitsche knows the A 1, A 8, A 9, and A 99 superhighways like the back of his hand, as he drives his Taycan Turbo Sport Turismo from the Weissach Development Centre to his family’s home in Graz, Austria, every weekend.

It’s Friday afternoon and the 65-year-old has relocated his office to his car before the onslaught of rush hour traffic. He spends the first two and a half hours of driving on the phone, as the Alps begin to take shape on the horizon. At 150 km/h, tire and wind sounds are audible in the background and mix with the humming of the electric motors, creating a futuristic soundscape.
