Renewing the leading edge, Dyson will invest in electric vehicle batteries and motors in the next five years

According to foreign media reports, on November 26, Dyson, the British innovative technology company and the inventor of the bagless vacuum cleaner, announced that it would invest 2.75 billion pounds (about 3.67 billion US dollars) in the development of new technologies and products in the next five years. For example, electric vehicle batteries and motors. Dyson said that by 2025, the number of its product portfolio will double, and it will enter new areas 'outside home appliances'. Dyson will focus on investing in solid-state battery technology, and will also invest in areas such as motor technology, robotics, smart products, and machine learning. Among them, the solid-state battery energy storage technology was previously developed by the company for the electric vehicle project, but last year it abandoned the electric vehicle project because it was not commercially viable. Roland Krueger, Dyson’s chief executive officer, said: “It’s time to invest in new technologies. Batteries, robots, and software will improve the performance and sustainability of our products and benefit Dyson’s consumers. In the next five years, we will expand our current There are product types, and we will enter new fields.' This investment will be invested in Dyson's new headquarters in Singapore, two universities in Wiltshire, UK, and the Philippines.

In 2017, Dyson announced that the company’s engineers have been working on a secret automotive project and are using its expertise in batteries and motors to develop vehicles. At the time, the company believed that its battery expertise would give it an advantage in the field of electric vehicles. On October 10, 2019, the company said that although engineers had built a 'great carAccording to the report, the internal code name of the Dyson electric car is 'N526'. This is a 7-seater model. Thanks to the company's proprietary solid-state battery technology, the range can reach 600 miles (about 965 kilometers) on a single charge. Although the body weight is as high as 2.6 tons, the Dyson electric car with aluminum body only needs 4.8 seconds to accelerate from 100 kilometers (about half a second longer than the long-range Model X), and the maximum speed can reach 125 mph (about 201 km/h). ), 30MPH lower than ModelX. In September of this year, Dyson said that due to the decline in consumer demand due to the epidemic, 900 of the 14,000 employees employed worldwide will be laid off.
