Quebec Government Pledges $1.4 M for Project Arrow, Other EV Projects

This past August, the government of Canada pledged $5 million towards development of a Canadian-made all-electric vehicle, part of what’s known as Project Arrow, the brainchild of the Automotive Parts Manufacturer’s Assocation (APMA). The project, as you may have guessed, is named in honour of the Avro Arrow Interceptor fighter plan produced (in prototype form) in Canada in the 1950s.

This weekend, Quebec’s provincial government stepped up with its own commitment of $1.4 million in investments earmarked for small and medium-sized companies who would supply components and technologies for future Canadian-made EVs, including Project Arrow’s compact SUV concept.

Those technologies would include connected or autonomous zero-emission automotive components and systems.

APMA president Flavio Volpe explained that given Quebec’s abundance of natural resources and leadership in the development of electric mobility, the province is essential to the development of clean mobility and related technologies within Canada.
