Porsche AG is considering shifting certain last parts of its model assembly to the US as a way to blunt the impact of Donald Trump’s tariffs on imported vehicles, according to people familiar with the matter.
The Volkswagen AG controlled sports-car maker could move steps of the final assembly process, such as the installation of interior components or the fitting of tires, to a US location from Germany, said the people familiar with Chief Executive Officer Oliver Blume’s thinking. Porsche currently doesn’t produce any cars in the US, leaving it highly exposed to the tariffs.
