New Engineering Technical Centre unveiled by Bentley
Bentley Motors has unveiled a new Engineering Technical Centre at its Crewe headquarters to support the development of future innovations.
At 13,000 sqm, the centre includes a prototype workshop to develop future models, facilities for materials development and a software integration department.
It will also support training, testing and launch preparation for all software and electrical, digital high-voltage systems.
As part of a wider investment programme which includes the development of an EV assembly line which will begin production in 2027, the Engineering Technical Centre brings together virtual and physical properties to further enhance collaborative working.

Dr Matthias Rabe, Bentley’s member of the board for R&D, said: “Our Beyond100+ strategy maps out a fundamental programme of change, using what is known now and adapting that vision as we adopt yet-to-be discovered technologies in the future.
“We are working on the next generation of electrified driving, digitally connected cars, with driving autonomy that will achieve the highest levels of luxury mobility.
“This new Engineering Technical Centre is a key building block for the successful delivery of this strategy and helps enable engineering concepts to become reality at the heart of development and integration, as we look to continue to create the most luxurious and performance-oriented vehicles on the market.”
