The company, founded by billionaire inventor Sir James Dyson, bought a disused airfield at Hullavington, Wiltshire, two years ago and has renovated two hangars at the 517-acre site. About 400 staff are now based there and a further three buildings will open in the coming months, bringing the company’s total investment to £200million. Dyson chief executive Jim Rowan said: “Our growing automotive team is now working from Dyson’s state-of-theart hangars at Hullavington airfield. “It will quickly become a world-class vehicle-testing campus where we hope to invest £200million, creating more high-skilled jobs for Britain. “We are now firmly focused on the next stage of our automotive project, strengthening our credentials as a global research and development organisation.” Dyson, best known for its domestic appliances, revealed in September last year that it has been working on an electric vehicle which it hopes will go on sale from 2021. The company employs more than 12,000 people across the world, with 4,800 in Britain ...

Dyson’s cars are expected to be aimed at the upper end of the market, will have some driverless features and may not even look like a conventional vehicle. Sir James said earlier this month: “What we are doing is quite radical.” The disused airfield in Hullavington, Wiltshire, left, which his company bought two years ago The disused airfield in Hullavington, Wiltshire (Image: PA) The company suggests that its vehicle is more likely to rival Elon Musk’s Tesla than the likes of Toyota or Volkswagen. It remains unclear where Dyson plans to build its electric car but the company has previously hinted it could be built in Britain. Sir James has been vocal in his support of Brexit and believes it will give British companies a big boost. He said previously: “Brexit can supercharge British technology.
