Porsche discontinues e-bike division as part of core business refocus

Porsche is discontinuing its performance e-bike division, Porsche eBike Performance GmbH, which it launched in August 2022. The automaker cited changing market conditions as the reason for closing factories in Germany and Croatia, impacting approximately 350 employees. This move is part of a broader strategic refocus on Porsche's core automotive business, which also includes shutting down its battery cell subsidiary, Cellforce Group GmbH, and selling stakes in Bugatti Rimac.
