🚐 Autarian Import Initiative

Smarter Imports. Better Vehicles. Stronger Communities.


🌍 What We're Doing

We’re building a smarter, more sustainable, and more practical vehicle import pipeline—bringing in Euro-American vans, wagons, and sedans to serve real transportation needs across Canada.

These aren’t just any imports. They’re Chrysler and Mercedes platforms—familiar to Canadian mechanics—offered in trims and specs not sold here, like factory diesels, RHD configurations, and luxury options for less.


✅ Why It Matters

  • Familiar, Not Foreign
    These are the same chassis and platforms Canadians know: Grand Caravan, Pacifica, 300C, Dodge Journey, Mercedes Viano, etc.—but better.

  • Right Tool for the Job
    RHD options for couriers, diesels for distance, automatics with luxury trim for passengers—these are utility-first vehicles built to work.

  • Serviceable Locally
    Forget the parts scarcity of JDMs. Everything we import can be serviced at Canadian dealerships and independent shops alike.

  • Cleaner, Cheaper, Better
    Better maintained vehicles from Europe. Diesel options with longevity. At prices lower than aging domestic “winter beaters.”


👥 Who It's For

  • 📦 Couriers, rural mail delivery, gig drivers
  • 🚐 Transit agencies & Indigenous transport orgs
  • 🛻 Car-share & subscription services
  • 🚖 Taxis, charters, and shuttle operators
  • 👨‍👩‍👧 Families and individuals who want unique, practical rides

🚗 Vehicles We’re Bringing In

  • Chrysler Grand Voyager (Diesel + RHD)
  • Lancia Voyager / Chrysler 300C Touring (Diesel Wagons)
  • Mercedes Vito & Viano (7–9 seaters)
  • Fiat Freemont / Dodge Journey (Diesel, 4x4, RHD options)
  • Mercedes E-Klasse W211 Estates (7-seat wagons)
  • More Euro-American platforms as demand grows

All compliant with Canadian import regulations and prepped for public and commercial use.


🛠️ Autarian Use Cases

  • Community Transit: Vans used for festivals, community centre outings, Indigenous programming
  • Medical & Wellness: Transport to hospitals like SickKids for families, without strings
  • Emergency Support: Vehicles for BSZ-M, deployments, and response
  • Rental & Subscription: Cars for Turo-style bookings, buyers’ groups, and local delivery
  • Transit Collab: Shuttles for TTC, YRT, Orillia/Barrie Transit, and more

💼 Our Approach

We’re working with:

  • Bulk vehicle vendors in Europe (UK, Germany, Netherlands, France, etc.)
  • Rental & surplus fleets in Canada (Enterprise, Hertz, public sector)
  • Canadian mechanics & upfitters to retrofit vans to Huronian specs (passenger-focused standards)

This is community-forward vehicle infrastructure.

A Smarter Import: Euro-American Vehicles for Canada’s Communities, Couriers & Consumers

We're building something different. At the intersection of community development, smart transportation, and cost-effective vehicle sourcing lies a new initiative: importing Euro-American vans, wagons, and sedans—primarily Chrysler and Mercedes models—into Canada for meaningful and wide-ranging use.

Why? Because there's a massive opportunity where affordability, quality, and utility meet. The North American market is saturated with aging domestic vehicles that often cost too much and deliver too little. Meanwhile, across Europe, well-maintained, diesel-powered versions of familiar Chrysler and Dodge models—Grand Voyagers, 300Cs, Pacificas, and more—offer better specs, stronger reliability, and right-hand-drive (RHD) variants perfect for postal workers, couriers, and enthusiasts alike. These vehicles are shaped like what we know, but engineered for performance, longevity, and ease of service—many using engines and parts already familiar to Canadian mechanics.

We’re not just importing cars. We’re creating a pipeline to serve various needs:

  • For Families and Enthusiasts: Affordable, stylish, and well-kept vans and sedans that stand out without breaking the bank.
  • For Couriers, Rural Mail Workers, and Gig Drivers: RHD vans and wagons, ready out of the box, that can be serviced at any Chrysler or Mercedes dealership in the country.
  • For Businesses and Cooperatives: Bulk-buy options for taxi fleets, subscription services, corporate mobility programs, and long-term rentals.
  • For the Autarian Community and Partners: Purpose-built transport for festivals, community centre outings, health appointments, and bridging public transit gaps—especially in underserved regions.
  • For Collaborators: Strategic alliances with transit systems like YRT, TTC, and Barrie-Orillia shuttles to extend the reach of festival buses, park adventures, and more.

We’re starting with the most practical: Chrysler Grand Voyagers and Lancia-badged equivalents, diesel-powered Mercedes Vianos and Vitos, and fleet-grade Dodge Grand Caravans. But the vision expands beyond that—Chrysler 300C Tourings, Fiat Freemonts, Mercedes E-Klasse wagons, and even R-Class MPVs form a diverse and scalable foundation for ALDC and future Autarian transportation.

Our approach balances access and innovation. With right-hand drive units available for postal workers and export-savvy buyers, plus left-hand drive conversions for local resale, we’re ensuring that these imports are not just interesting—but entirely usable in Canada. These are foreign cars that drive like domestic ones, and politically, they help open the door for broader recognition of European standards under CETA.

The big win? A car that's better made, easier to fix, and cheaper to buy—and a fleet that can be mobilized in service of community, commerce, and equity.
