"The Vector builds upon the original show car with a more dramatic body and a higher output, now rated at 650 horsepower, up from the previous model's 550 hp. According to the APMA, the chassis was formed using AI and then 3D-printed with a blend of polymers and aluminum. Meanwhile, the estimated driving range is 341 miles (550 kilometers), and the concept is reportedly equipped with Level 3 automated driving functions, which allow for hands-off and eyes-off driving."
"To prove its might, the country's Automotive Parts Manufacturers' Association (APMA) just unveiled two new concept cars at the 2026 Canadian International AutoShow (CIAS). Dubbed the Vector and Borealis, the two EVs are part of the Project Arrow initiative that kicked off in 2023 with the simple goal of showing the world that Canada has the necessary supply chain to build modern electric cars for everybody."
Project Arrow presented two Canadian-designed and built electric concepts, Vector and Borealis, at the 2026 Canadian International AutoShow. The Vector offers 650 horsepower, an estimated 341-mile (550 km) range, and Level 3 automated driving functions. Its chassis was generated with AI and 3D-printed using a polymers-and-aluminum blend. Borealis serves as a skeleton-like demonstration of the Canadian automotive supply chain's contributions for upcoming vehicles. The initiative began in 2023 to prove Canada can manufacture modern EVs domestically, leveraging the national network of parts suppliers despite changes to import tariffs on Chinese-made electric cars.
