Following on the recent announcement of an injection of US$1.8 billion in capital from a joint venture agreement, Detroit Electric's Chief Technical Officer and Company Director Richie Frost has started a recruitment drive to ensure that the best senior team is in place.

Frost explains: "Although we secured the long-term funding only a few weeks ago, we were already poised to implement our strategy to become one of the world's leading electric vehicle manufacturers."

Detroit Electric was introduced in 1907 by the Anderson Electric Car Company and is now an iconic brand in the global electric vehicle sector. The agreement will allow the completion of the final homologation phase of its all-electric SP:01 sports car and the start of production at Leamington Spa.
