Dyson to build £120m electric car testing facility

British inventor James Dyson is planning to invest up to £120m in building a new test facility for electric cars in Wiltshire.

It has submitted plans to expand its Hullavington site on former Ministry of Defence land. This would include building 10-miles of off-road track, a high-speed racing circuit and offices for up to 2,000 extra workers.

The expansion is part of a plan to start selling a radical electric car from 2021.

Jim Rowan, chief executive of Dyson, predicted that Hullavington would soon become a world-class vehicle testing campus.

“We are now firmly focused on the next stage of our automotive project strengthening our credentials as a global research and development organisation,” he said.
