戴森要進軍電動汽車行業！這波操作會火嗎？

Dyson will manufacture its new electric car at a plant in Singapore, it announced on Tuesday.

星期二，戴森宣佈，該公司將在新加坡的一個工廠裏生產新產品——電動汽車。

The huge plant will be ready from 2020 ahead of the project launch of the new car in 2021, Dyson said.

戴森表示，開發新型汽車的項目將於2021年啓動，在那之前，這家大型工廠將於2020年準備就緒。

It is designing the technology and building a test track in Wiltshire but said the decision to make the car in Singapore reflected the international nature of its operations.

該公司在威爾特郡研發技術，建造試驗跑道。不過，據說該公司在新加坡生產汽車的決定體現了其國際化運營的特點。

Dyson does not manufacture its products in the UK and already employs around 1,100 people in Singapore, where it makes electric motors.

戴森不會在英國生產其電動汽車產品，而且該公司已經在新加坡僱傭了近1100名員工，其電動汽車產品將在新加坡生產。

Chief executive Jim Rowan said the company had chosen the city state for its “significant advanced manufacturing expertise ”.

戴森總裁吉姆·羅恩表示，該公司因新加坡擁有“非常先進的生產技術”而選擇了這個國家。

He said: “Singapore also offers access to high-growth markets as well as an extensive supply chain and a highly skilled workforce.

他表示：“新加坡還能使戴森進入高速增長的市場，而且還能爲該公司提供豐富的供應鏈和技術嫺熟的工人。

“Singapore has a comparatively high cost base, but also great technology expertise. It is therefore the right place to make high-quality, technology-loaded machines, and the right place to make our electric vehicle.”

“雖然新加坡的成本基礎相對較高，但它也擁有不錯的技術專長。因此新加坡是生產高質量、高技術含量機器的適當場所，也是生產我們的電動汽車的合適地點。”

The decision comes after a number of car manufacturers issued warnings over the future of the industry in the UK if Theresa May does not secure a favourable trade deal with the EU before the March deadline.

許多汽車製造商表示，如果特麗莎·梅無法在(英國脫歐的)3月截止日期之前獲得與歐盟之間的有利貿易協議，英國製造業的未來實在令人擔憂，在那之後，戴森公司就做出了這一決議。

Nissan, Jaguar Land Rover and BMW have all pointed to the threat posed by a no-deal Brexit in recent weeks.

最近幾週日產、捷豹路虎和寶馬等公司都指出了英國未達成有利協議就脫歐的威脅。
