Canada unveiled its most ambitious electric vehicles at the Toronto auto show—the Project Arrow Vector and Borealis concepts. The APMA aims to prove the country can build a complete EV without importing technology.

The Vector evolves from the first show car with sharper body styling, 650 horsepower, and a claimed range of 550 km. Its chassis is 3D-printed from an aluminum-polymer blend and includes Level 3 autonomy.

Project Arrow Borealis

The Borealis points to a further horizon: a metal 3D-printed chassis, an experimental electric drive, and a claim of Level 5 autonomy. This concept is designed for future smart-city infrastructure and has a theoretical range of up to 1,500 km.

Both projects were developed in collaboration with Ontario Tech University and more than 80 Canadian suppliers. Canada clearly intends to put itself on the global EV technology map.
