end of this decade, in 2020. In its official statement, the company claims
that with the Mission E project, Porsche is continuing to get back sustainable
growth. Moreover, for this project Porsche will be making an investment of up

opportunities for over 1000 new jobs.
The Ä700 Mission E investment was part of a Ä1bn spending plan on new facilities announced by Porsche.
