To be launched by 2022, Project Arrow will draw on Canadian expertise and resources to meet the carbon-neutral challenge
The first all-Canadian zero-emissions concept car, to be launched by the country’s automotive supply sector by 2022, will be introduced Tuesday at the Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas.
The project will begin with a design contest this summer inviting Canadian universities and colleges to submit ideas for the car. Suppliers will bid on the project in the fall and a “virtual concept” will be unveiled next year. A final, fully built vehicle will be introduced in 2022. Joe McCabe, president of auto industry consulting firm AutoForecast Solutions LLC, said with the future of mass auto production in Canada uncertain, the APMA project reflects a push by some in the industry to be more competitive in the “next frontier” of auto manufacturing: advanced technology, electrification and autonomous vehicles. General Motors of Canada closed its century-old Oshawa, Ont.
The latest project is intended to go a step further, as the first to attempt a car built from start to finish with Canadian parts, materials, engineering and design.
