— September 27, 2017 — Autos

Dyson recently confirmed they are developing a battery electric vehicle that is scheduled to hit the road in 2020 with an all-electric drivetrain. News of the electric car plan came out in a company-wide internal email sharing the original vision behind Dyson's cyclical motor design. With an aim to reduce global pollution, though a battery electric vehicle can seem like a stretch, the company is on track to make a positive environmental impact.

3. Disruptive Innovation - Companies can seize the opportunity to disrupt traditional gasoline-powered car markets by developing new, innovative products that meet growing consumer demand for sustainable transportation options.
Industry Implications
1. Automotive - The automotive industry can benefit from investing in research and development of battery electric vehicles to meet consumer demand for sustainable transportation options and to reduce global pollution.
2. Clean Energy - The clean energy industry can seize opportunities presented by the growing demand for renewable energy and battery technology to develop new products and services that can have positive environmental impacts.
