Dreame Says Vehicle Work Will Move into Industrial Research

Dreame said it had abandoned plans to mass-produce vehicles and would move its automotive business under its industrial research institute. The company gave the statement to National Business Daily on September 1, 2026; the newspaper published its report the following day.

Under the revised arrangement, the automotive activity would focus on technology development. That changes the role of the business from a proposed complete-vehicle production operation to a research function. The statement did not set out a new vehicle factory schedule or announce a replacement mass-market vehicle launch.

Dreame also identified smart homes, outdoor yard care, smart mobility and embodied intelligence as its four principal business directions. Keeping smart mobility among those priorities indicates that the decision on complete vehicles was more specific than an announcement to withdraw from all transport-related technology. The research institute arrangement forms part of the company's allocation of resources across those areas.

The report concerns a diversification plan at a company established in cleaning appliances. It does not say that Dreame's robot vacuums, wet cleaners or other household products were being discontinued. For those businesses, the change is the revised scope of the automotive programme, while product availability continues to depend on separate regional announcements.
