LONDON, April 2 (Reuters) - A consortium of British
engineers, aerospace and Formula One companies are hoping to
produce at least 1,500 ventilators a week within a matter of
weeks, it said on Thursday.
Companies including Airbus, Ford, Rolls-Royce
and BAE have come together with seven Formula
One teams to ramp up production of two existing ventilators made
by Penlon and Smiths Group in Britain.
The companies answered a call by Prime Minister Boris
Johnson for industry to help build life-saving equipment ahead
of the peak of the coronavirus outbreak.
