Billionaire Sir James Dyson is one of Britain's most successful inventors.
After a radical change in the vacuum industry, the British businessman invested £ 2 billion in an electric vehicle project.
Sir James Dyson was born in Norfolk in 1947 and is worth $5.
According to Forbes, 2 billion.
After studying at the Art School, Dyson developed his most famous product --
Cleaner without bag
The inventor was frustrated by the loss of suction when his household vacuum cleaner sucked away dirt.
He developed "G-
In 1983, the circular separation technology already used by the saw mill was used to force cleaning.
But the product is not an immediate success in the UK, as major manufacturers will not buy it because they fear it will kill the lucrative market for cleaning bags.
The UK's disposable bag market was worth £ 100 million a year.
So Dyson brought his products to Japan-the world's second-largest economy at the time-and sold them through catelogies. The pink-coloured G-
The company retails for about £ 2,000, has been successful in Asian countries and won the international design fair in Japan in 1991.
Dyson was able to get a profitable patent for his vacuum technology in the medium term80s.
By the age of more than 1990, the businessman was able to set up his own manufacturing company in the UK and let him refuse G-Force.
Thanks to his excellent products and clever TV commercials, Dyson has changed the cleaning industry forever.
His Dyson Twin Cyclone product has become the fastest-selling vacuum cleaner in the UK's history.
In 2002, he launched his innovative cleaner in the United States, which was immediately welcomed.
One of the secrets of Dyson's success is his ability to spot defects in existing products and improve it.
Other inventions include the Dyson "Airblade", which completely changed the clothes dryer and a fan-free called "Air Multiplier.
Dyson became Sir James when he was named Sir in 2007.
Dyson recently bought $74 million-$9,138square-
Top floor apartment on walking Park Avenue in New York City. The six-
Bedroom penthouse with 279-square-
Balcony and 360-
Degree in urban landscape.
Located on east 60 Street, it is not far from Dyson flagship store.
The Dyson headquarters will be moved to Singapore from its current residence in Wiltshire, announced today.
Dyson insists the move has nothing to do with Brexit
The future growth of the company will be in Asia.
But critics have accused the company's boss of withdrawing from the UK a few weeks before we left the EU, which is "an astonishing hypocrisy ".
The company, which is currently headquartered in Malmsbury, revealed last year that the new electric vehicles will be produced in Singapore.
Now, the company has moved its headquarters and several senior executives to a vibrant city --state.
Chief executive Jim Rowan said: "This has nothing to do with Brexit or taxes, but to ensure that our future is verified.
"Singapore has huge revenue opportunities, and China is a typical example of that.
Dyson said it will continue to invest in the UK and will not leave the Wiltshire base completely.
The company was first known for its bag-free vacuum cleaner and created the super
Powerful hand dryers now everywhere.
Sir James is the best-
A well-known businessman who fought for Brexit.
Dyson announced plans to build electric vehicles by 2020.
The British vacuum cleaner giant will spend £ 2 billion on "radical and different" projects. The all-
400 employees at the headquarters in Malmsbury, Wiltshire are developing new models.
Further work will take place at the nearby former Royal Air Force Base and staff will be relocated in next February.
No factory has been selected except for the battery
Electric vehicles will start selling after 2020.
Sir James, founder of the company, told employees in an email
Mail: "The competition for new technologies in the automotive industry is very fierce, and we have to do everything we can to keep our car details confidential.
"Dyson has been ambitious to develop electric vehicles since 1998, but it has been rejected by the industry.
He also asked automakers to install a cyclone exhaust after 90 s to reduce emissions, but encountered resistance.
Half of the 2bn investment will be for cars and the other half will be for developing batteries.
At a time when the price has not been announced, the battery series has not yet been announced.
Sir James confirmed, however, that it would target the "technical end" of the market rather than a mass production model like Nissan Leaf or Renault Zoe, which is unlikely to be cheap.
According to Sir James, the car looks "radical and different" and will feature some self
Driving technology.
It is expected to use next-
It's solid-state battery technology, not lithium-ion batteries.
Believe solid state is safer-
Can charge faster.
Toyota also plans to sell the technology by 2020.
Dyson's ambitious plan is to position itself as a global manufacturing giant that is chasing power dominance.
Tesla, Nissan, Renault, Volvo and BMW are all on sale with popular models from Jaguar, Mercedes, Volkswagen and Porsche. in futures.
