Apple has accepted two former Mercedes employees as part of the development of a project to create its first electric car. This is reported by MacRumors.

Sources in the corporation said that one of the new employees now works in the special projects department as a design engineer. While working for a German company, he oversaw the issues of mass production of cars, steering, dynamics, software and project management. It is known that the engineer worked at Porsche before being employed at Mercedes.

The only thing we know about the second employee is that he also worked at Mercedes and was hired quite recently. The names of both specialists are not disclosed.

Thus, the new employees will join the list of specialists hired by Tim Cook's company and previously worked for other automakers. In particular, before that, Apple lured employees of Porsche, Volkswagen, BMW, Audi and Tesla.

The journalists clarified that as part of the project to create the first eletrocar, which Apple keeps in the strictest secrecy, the corporation has to rely on the experience of specialists from other companies.

In early September, Digitimes sources reported that Apple plans to start producing electric cars in 2024. Earlier, Wedbush analyst Daniel Ives said that the first car from Apple is unlikely to be released earlier than in a couple of years.
