Dreame, a company primarily known for its vacuum and home appliance technology, has officially ended its venture into the automotive industry. The initiative, internally referred to as 'Project Starry Sky,' was intended to position the company as a broader global technology competitor. However, reports indicate that the project has been abandoned following the withdrawal of government funding.

According to industry reporting from CarNewsChina, the scale of the shutdown is significant. At its peak, the automotive division employed more than 1,000 staff members. Currently, only a small team consisting of legal and human resources personnel remains on-site. Their primary responsibility is to manage the formal closure of the division and handle the remaining administrative tasks associated with the project's dissolution.

While Dreame has acknowledged the change in status through a brief statement, the company has not provided extensive details regarding the specific reasons for the funding loss or the future of the technology developed during the project's lifespan. The move marks a pivot away from the company's previous ambitions to enter the competitive electric or specialized vehicle market, signaling a return to its core business of home technology products.
