Elektromobilität: Dreame stoppt Autoprojekt
Es ist erst wenige Monate her, dass Dreame aus China mit spektakulären Konzepten für seine Autozukunft warb. Doch nun stoppt der Konzern offenbar die weitere Entwicklung.
Beijing - Chinese cleaning appliance and robotics specialist Dreame Technology has abandoned its planned entry into the automotive sector, reports industry portal CarNewsChina. The 2025 launched vehicle project "Starry Sky" is already being shut down. With the company temporarily employing nearly 1,000 people, only a handful of employees remain, focusing on winding down the companies and addressing outstanding liabilities.
Dreame announced its foray into the automotive industry in August 2025, supporting its ambitions with concept vehicles in early 2026. A highlight was the April unveiling of the Nebula Next 01 electric sports car, equipped with additional rocket propulsion to accelerate to top speed in 0.9 seconds. However, doubts persist regarding the actual development stage of the showcased vehicles, with former employees alleging that some show cars primarily served as showpieces and capital-raising tools.
In the future, Dreame intends to refocus on its core business areas, including vacuum cleaners and lawn-mowing robots, as well as electric bicycles and robotics. The company is not the first household appliance manufacturer whose foray into the auto industry has failed; Dyson, an English firm, terminated its electric car project two years after announcing it in 2019, initially planning to invest £2.5 billion (€2.9 billion) in the development of the intended electric SUV.
