This is how Porsche is transported

In 2018, 31 percent of Porsche's sales came from the Chinese market, making it the company's most important area. Of course, this is also true for other car manufacturers, so the global models are also trying to adapt to the tastes that exist there. For this reason, we only feel that huge chrome kidneys have grown on the nose of BMW 7, and Audik's engine designation has become performance-based. As we mentioned, China is an important market, so the speed of transporting European cars has also improved.

So far, Porsche has sailed around 80,000 cars a year to Guangzhou, Shanghai or Tianjin, which is 18,500 kilometers at sea. This means that from the factory to the local Porsche dealers it was 50 days for cars to travel. However, 11 percent of sports cars will travel to China by rail. The Silk Road will drive 11,000 kilometers of cars from Germany, from Poland, Belarus, Russia and Kazakhstan to Chongqing, China.

After testing, Oliver Bronder, vice president of logistics and production at Porsche, found that the 20-day rail transport could reduce the total logistics time to 3 weeks, even if the handling and unloading of containers is a bit more complex task.
