    AMAG Porsche Centre gets solar power

    On 5 May, the AMAG Group commissioned a photovoltaic (PVA) plant with an output of 87 kilowatts peak on the roof of the Porsche Centre in Winterthur. The new plant is part of a major offensive in which the Group has already set up a whole series of solar plants on the roofs of AMAG operations. By 2025, around 75,000 square metres of surface area are to be equipped with solar panels, informs the automobile trading group headquartered in Cham in a statement. This would be sufficient to cover over 20 per cent of the Group’s electricity requirements. AMAG also aims to achieve climate neutrality by 2025 at the latest.

    The new plant on the roof of the Porsche Centre will contribute around 86 megawatt hours of solar power annually towards this goal. “For us, it is a great pleasure that we now not only stand for Porsche’s great products in the Winterthur region, but also for sustainability and climate protection in accordance with the AMAG Group’s strategy,” Marcel Renz, Managing Director of AMAG First AG’s Porsche Centre Winterthur, is quoted as saying in the statement. “Thanks to PVA, we will be able to cover our own electricity needs to a certain extent.”

    According to the statement, the AMAG Group is pursuing the goal of becoming the leading provider of sustainable individual mobility. The acquisition last year of the solar company Helion, which specialises in photovoltaics, heat pumps and e-mobility, should also be seen against this background.

    Porsche supports start-ups in Zurich

    Porsche supports innovative start- ups through its Forward31 program. Now the German carmaker has also included the Zurich start-up The Embassies in this program, according to a media release .

    The Embassies is developing a new solution for living in old age. This consists of a digital platform and habitable rooms. The company wants to build a network with around 30 locations worldwide. She wants to focus on big cities like Zurich, London, New York or Berlin. The first location is scheduled to open in Europe in 2022.

    At the locations – so-called embassies – of The Embassies, residents and visitors should have publicly accessible catering and leisure facilities available. The goal is to encourage social interaction. Traveling by older people is also supported. This also gives residents and members access to other The Embassies locations around the world.

    "We created our offer for people who want to lead a self-determined, fulfilled and healthy life for as long as possible," says Jan Garde, founder of The Embassies, in the press release.

    Forward31 will now continue to develop the business model together with the founding team of The Embassies and support the company as a strategic partner in the future.
