Bentley cut the ribbon on the Excellence Centre for Quality & Launch

The opening of the Excellence Centre for Quality & Launch is seen as a key step in Bentley’s preparations for their first ever EV. The battery-powered luxury SUV will be launched next year and is one of the first steps in Bentley’s Beyond100+ strategy that will see their entire range become electrified.

“The Excellence Centre for Quality & Launch is a key building block for the successful delivery of the Beyond100+ strategy. The facility represents a significant step forward in transforming our historic Crewe site into a world-leading hub for sustainable luxury automotive production.” Said Andreas Lehe, Bentley’s Member of the Board for Manufacturing, “The new facility will be a collaborative workspace for both Quality & Launch teams and will play a crucial role in upholding the unparalleled quality, precision, and craftsmanship that defines Bentley, as we deliver our first fully electric vehicle.”

Built on an 85 year old site, the house of Bentley’s future covers 8,000sqm and features a production proving ground and mini assembly line to test BEV assembly. It also includes a technical center for future materials testing, high precision dimensional measurement, vehicle analysis and reliability.

The Excellence Centre for Quality & Launch stands as a testament to how seriously Bentley is taking their electrified future.
