\n\tCanada\u2019s first zero-emission concept vehicle was unveiled on a global stage at the international Consumer Electronics Show (CES) in Las Vegas Thursday to great fanfare.<\/p>\n

\n\tProject Arrow was three years in the making, with the Automotive Parts Manufacturers\u2019 Association (APMA) taking the lead, implementing parts and technology systems from 58 different Canadian suppliers.<\/p>\n

\n\t\u201cWe may not have a Canadian car company, but it’s not because we don’t have the know-how, or the innovative spirit,\u201d said APMA president, Flavio Volpe.<\/p>\n

\n\tThe electric vehicle working prototype features 25 new technologies, such as connectivity, autonomous drive, a solar roof, carbon capture, AI applications and nanotechnology.<\/p>\n

\n\t\u201cThe vehicle looks gorgeous, fantastic job by all the Canadian parts companies,\u201d said Stephen Mackenzie, the president and CEO of Invest Windsor Essex. His team was in Las Vegas for the unveiling, along with representatives from St. Clair College, We-Tech Alliance and others.<\/p>\n

\n\tThe goal for the participation at CES is to build awareness of Windsor-Essex as a premier location for mobility innovation and to showcase the technological advancements and programming available to companies looking to partner, invest and expand into Canada\u2019s Automobility Capital, said MacKenzie.<\/p>\n

\n\tThe Arrow was brought from concept to reality using Windsor\u2019s VR Cave to assist with creating the vehicle\u2019s layout, design, architecture and power train.<\/p>\n

\n\t\u201cIt\u2019s a demonstration of tangible assets we have to support small and medium sized companies to help develop their products and technology,\u201d said MacKenzie.<\/p>\n

\n\tBut don\u2019t expect to see this car on the road or showrooms, as it\u2019s just a working concept \u2014 meant to show automakers the potential for investment in Canadian suppliers.<\/p>\n

\n\t\u201cThis project is about promoting the Canadian technologies that are on this platform for those companies to get more business from their global customers,\u201d said Volpe.<\/p>\n

\n\tThat\u2019s already happening, according to industry experts.<\/p>\n

\n\t\u201cThis is Canada putting a lot of chips into the heart of where the industry is going,\u201d said Bernard Swiecki, the research director at the Centre for Automotive Research in Ann Arbor, Mich.<\/p>\n

\n\tCanada has landed $16 billion of investment in the auto sector over the past two years, notes Swiecki, who adds the country has increased it\u2019s share of North American automaker investment from six per cent to 17 per cent in that time.<\/p>\n

\n\t\u201cAnd it really demonstrates that Canada has had great success in attracting some of these new electrified, automated investments,\u201d Swiecki said.<\/p>\n

\n\tThe vehicle will undergo additional road testing in the coming months to prove range capacity. Volpe confirms the vehicle will be on display at the Canadian Auto Show in Toronto this February.<\/p>\n

\n\tThe APMA chose to unveil it in Vegas because the CES is one of the largest tech events in the world providing a platform to experience breakthrough technologies, global innovations and connect with subject matter experts.<\/p>\n

\n\tIt\u2019s also a chance to showcase to the biggest audience possible \u2014 that Canada is open for business.<\/p>\n

\n\t\u201cOntario and Quebec can be the automotive startup cluster that’s competes with or maybe does better than Silicon Valley,\u201d he said. \u201cIt can be done.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
