Bentley Opens State-of-the-Art Engineering Centre for Electrified Future

Bentley Motors has inaugurated a state-of-the-art Engineering Technical Centre in Crewe, a key milestone in its Beyond100+ strategy. The centre, spanning 13,000 sqm across two floors, brings together virtual and physical properties, fostering collaborative working.

The new centre houses a prototype workshop, materials development, and software integration department. It will support the development of future models, materials, and software for Bentley vehicles. The majority of departments have been relocated from the oldest building at the Pyms Lane site, which is being transformed for BEV assembly by 2027.

The centre is part of an expansive investment programme in future facilities and products at the Pyms Lane factory. It joins the recently opened Design Studio and the upcoming Paint Shop and Integrated Logistics Centre, due to open next year. Dr. Matthias Rabe, Bentley's Member of the Board for R&D, praised the centre as a crucial building block for the successful delivery of the Beyond100+ strategy. The centre was officially opened by Chairman and CEO, Dr. Frank-Steffen Walliser and Dr. Matthias Rabe.

The new Engineering Technical Centre in Crewe signals Bentley Motors' commitment to an electrified future. It will play a pivotal role in developing and delivering the next generation of Bentley vehicles, supporting the Beyond100+ strategy.
