Dyson Ltd. is preparing a 517-acre test track in England to speed development of the “radical” electric car it hopes to debut in 2021.
The company, best-known for its vacuum cleaners and home appliances, is constructing a 10-mile-long test track (artists’ concept, left) at the former Hullavington airfield near its headquarters in Malmesbury.
Dyson has spent £84 million ($109 million) to renovate two hangers at the site to house a staff of 400 EV developers. The company says the next phase will add 161,500 sq ft of laboratory and test cells, hire another 2,000 technicians and bring its investment in the tech campus to £200 million ($261 million).
Dyson has built no prototype to date. Nor has it revealed any details about its EV or where it will be produced. Founder James Dyson has indicated only the vehicle will be at the high end of the EV market, be “radical” in concept and may not resemble a conventional car.
