BBC News reports that the firm has designed a new ventilator which still needs to get regulatory clearance and is set to be built at its plant in Wiltshire. Dyson is working with Cambridge-based The Technology Partnership.

The Guardian has reported that Airbus – which plans to scale up production of existing ventilator models – is expected to receive the go-ahead to build ventilators too while manufacturers in the car industry – including UK-based constructors in Formula One – are also exploring switching their production to focus on the government’s request for more ventilators.
