Dyson plans to build electric vehicles in Singapore

• "The British maker of vacuums and hand dryers said Tuesday that it had selected the city because of its manufacturing expertise, skilled workforce and proximity to high-growth markets in Asia. Construction work will begin in December," per CNN.

Singapore appears to make sense for Dyson for other reasons, as it already has facilities there for building motors.

• Plus, as The Verge notes, "Singapore also has pending free trade agreement with Japan and existing agreements with China, the world’s largest market for electric cars."
