Detlev von Platen, Member of the Executive Board for Sales and Marketing at Porsche AG said, "Porsche is demonstrating resilience in the face of the coronavirus crises. Thanks to a fresh, updated product portfolio, we have been able to keep the decline in deliveries to a moderate level. The Chinese market has recovered quickly after the lockdown, and demand in other markets is also showing significant growth once again - all of which has contributed to achieving this result."
