"Volkswagen Group's Porsche Division Shifts Focus Amid Emissions Concerns. In a surprising move, Porsche has announced plans to refocus on producing combustion-engine cars, a decision that could potentially help the Volkswagen Group avoid costly emissions fines. As the sports-car maker's electric vehicle sales continue to slump, the company is making a bold bet on the enduring popularity of traditional gasoline-powered vehicles. The shift in strategy comes as the European Union tightens regulations on emissions, and Volkswagen Group is under increasing pressure to meet strict environmental targets."
