AutoExec Summary
Porsche is facing two lawsuits in Germany over a car carrier fire in 2022, allegedly caused by one of its electric vehicles. The fire occurred on the Felicity Ace, which later sank off the Portuguese coast. Mitsui and Allianz have filed lawsuits against Porsche, claiming the fire was caused by a faulty EV and that Volkswagen failed to inform them of the dangers. The cases were filed last year, but the amount of collateral to be posted before proceedings begin is still being debated. Volkswagen confirmed it had received the lawsuits but did not comment on the allegations. The Felicity Ace was carrying a mix of new and used vehicles, including 15 Lamborghini Aventador Ultimaes. No Australian-bound vehicles were affected.
Brands mentioned: Porsche, Lamborghini, Volkswagen, Mitsui, Allianz.
