Dyson will manufacture its new electric car at a plant in Singapore, it announced on Tuesday.
星期二，戴森宣布，该公司将在新加坡的一个工厂里生产新产品——电动汽车。
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，开发新型汽车的项目将于2021年启动，在那之前，这家大型工厂将于2020年准备就绪。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.该公司在威尔特郡研发技术，建造试验跑道。不过，据说该公司在新加坡生产汽车的决定体现了其国际化运营的特点。Dyson does not manufacture its products in the UK and already employs around 1,100 people in Singapore, where it makes electric motors.戴森不会在英国生产其电动汽车产品，而且该公司已经在新加坡雇佣了近1100名员工，其电动汽车产品将在新加坡生产。Chief executive Jim Rowan said the company had chosen the city state for its “significant advanced manufacturing expertise ”.戴森总裁吉姆·罗恩表示，该公司因新加坡拥有“非常先进的生产技术”而选择了这个国家。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：“新加坡还能使戴森进入高速增长的市场，而且还能为该公司提供丰富的供应链和技术娴熟的工人。“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.”“虽然新加坡的成本基础相对较高，但它也拥有不错的技术专长。因此新加坡是生产高质量、高技术含量机器的适当场所，也是生产我们的电动汽车的合适地点。”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.许多汽车制造商表示，如果特丽莎·梅无法在(英国脱欧的)3月截止日期之前获得与欧盟之间的有利贸易协议，英国制造业的未来实在令人担忧，在那之后，戴森公司就做出了这一决议。Nissan, Jaguar Land Rover and BMW have all pointed to the threat posed by a no-deal Brexit in recent weeks.最近几周日产、捷豹路虎和宝马等公司都指出了英国未达成有利协议就脱欧的威胁。
