GUEST: Flavio Volpe, President, Canada’s Automotive Parts Manufacturing Association
They call it Project Arrow, and it’s a showcase of Canadian technology to make electric vehicles. Some of that tech is truly groundbreaking. Up to now the project has been kind of hush-hush, but Flavio Volpe, president of Canada’s Automotive Parts Manufacturing Association, is here to tell us all about it. Renown EV auto journalist John Voelker is also on the show.
