At the Canadian International AutoShow 2026, the Canadian Automotive Parts Manufacturers' Association (APMA) introduced two electric vehicle prototypes: 'Project Arrow Vector' and 'Project Arrow Borealis'. These vehicles are part of the second phase of the Arrow program, focusing on showcasing Canada's automotive development capabilities.

The Vector is equipped with a 3D-printed lightweight polymer and aluminum chassis, producing 650 hp and offering a 550 km range. In contrast, the Borealis features a 3D-printed metal chassis, designed for future technology with a projected 1,500 km range and level 5 automation. APMA President Flavio Volpe emphasized this phase as a step towards demonstrating advanced manufacturing technologies for the 2030s and 2040s.
