CANADIAN auto sales experts have warned that aftermarket supply chains, including parts for repairs, must be guaranteed to boost consumer confidence about buying EVs in this vast unevenly populated country.

CANADA AUTO DEALERS CALL FOR COORDINATED RULES ON COMBUSTION VEHICLE PHASE-OUT AS QUÉBEC PLANS 2035 BAN
THE CANADIAN automobile sector has called on the country’s provinces to better coordinate efforts to increase demand for electric vehicles. This follows the Québec government announcing a ban on local sales of new combustion-driven cars, SUVs and pick-ups from 2035.
While the ban would not apply to most commercial vehicles and used-auto sales, and hybrid sales and use might still be allowed, Brian Kingston, the new president and CEO of the Canadian Vehicle Manufacturers’ Association (CVMA), fears this policy might not achieve its goal: to promote EV sales: “You need a plan, not a ban,” he told wardsauto.…

CANADIAN automobile dealers are looking out for a potential increase in the price of vehicles that they sell on account of the United States-Mexico-Canada Agreement (USMCA), which came into force on July 1 (2020).
This is likely to be fuelled by the new deal insisting that Canadian (as well as American and Mexican) auto-manufacturers may have to increase their USMCA-bloc sourcing to ensure that 75% of a vehicle’s parts are made a signatory country.…
CANADA AUTOSHOW ORGANISERS INNOVATE DIGITALLY TO CREATE FIRST VIRTUAL EXHIBITION
ORGANISERS of the Canadian International AutoShow are drawing on innovative online systems to launch a unique online 2021 event, which will be staged virtually because of Covid-19.
Canada’s largest annual consumer show attracted 330,000 visitors this February, so staging the 2021 event physically was an impossible health risk until the epidemic is over, said show general manager Jason Campbell.…

A RESEARCH consortium in Canada is developing an open source model to create data-rich digital maps that can improve the operations of autonomous vehicles (AVs).

USA AUTO MAKERS JUGGLE USMCA COMPLIANCE STRATEGIES TO AVOID MARKET DEPRESSING COST INCREASES
USA automotive manufacturers are facing some tough choices when implementing the United States-Mexico-Canada Agreement (USMCA), which entered into force on July 1, to avoid its pressure on costs being reflected in showroom price increases.
The new deal, which replaces the North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA), requires US, Mexican and Canadian auto manufacturers to increase their USMCA-bloc sourcing to ensure that 75% of a vehicle’s parts are made in a signatory country to benefit from the free trade provisions.…
