In 2019, Dyson announced that the company would be moving its operational headquarters from Malmesbury to the St James Power Station building in Singapore. The new headquarters opened in 2022 and is a hub for Dyson's research and engineering teams, as well as its commercial, advanced manufacturing and supply chain operations. The Malmesbury campus remains home to the company's global Research, Design and Development centre and many of its advanced engineering teams.
In January 2019, it was announced that Dyson intended to design and manufacture an electric vehicle (EV). However, the termination of the EV programme was announced later that year on 10 October 2019, saying that it was not "commercially viable". Nevertheless, a prototype of the EV, known as the N526, was unveiled in 2020 and it is now showcased within their headquarters.
