The CTEA is the only not-for-profit trade Association in Canada that addresses the specific needs of commercial vehicle manufacturers. Our Member's products are primarily heavy duty vehicles (80%) with a gross vehicle weight rating (GVWR) exceeding 14,970 kgs or 33,001 lbs. The remaining 20% have a GVWR of 4,537 kg or 10,001 lbs. We play a number of key roles on behalf of our Members. Please refer to Programs and Services for more detail.
Our funding is generated from annual Membership dues and the delivery of fee-generating programs and services. Our programs and some services are tailored to enhance Member's manufacturing capabilities and/or help them conform to the Canada Motor Vehicle Safety Act (CMVSA) and its Regulations and Standards. While the CMVSA is our primary focus, the Association also helps Members comply with other legislated requirements. Examples include: vehicle weights and dimensions, load security, wheel end safety, and suspensions (liftable / steerable axles) to name just a few.
