Dyson, a manufacturer known for vacuums, could add electric vehicles to its portfolio.

May 13, 2019—Dyson, a British manufacturer best known for its vacuums, could add electric vehicles to its lineup, reported CNBC.

Dyson received patents and the images show what looks like a three-row crossover-utility vehicle that follows the latest industry approach to electric vehicle design, with its battery pack and motors mounted below the floorboards.

Dyson said the patent filings reveal an “androgynous vehicle,” rather than a specific product under development. Referencing the patent renderings, Dyson did note that the basic shape, a bit lower than today’s typical SUV and CUV, would reduce aerodynamic drag while “the long wheel base could be employed, increasing the driving range and enabling a larger cabin capacity.”
