CADA, in partnership with Kudelski IoT, launched the CADA 360 Security Services program powered by RecovR®, which offers 24/7 monitoring, geo-fencing, and multi-layered tracking (GPS, cellular, Bluetooth, and Wi-Fi) to aid in vehicle theft recovery and bolster inventory security for Canadian auto dealers. The program includes a no-upfront capital cost model that benefits dealers facing high insurance requirements.

The Canadian Automobile Dealers Association released its 2024 Workforce Study, offering detailed insights into wages, retention, turnover, and workforce demographics among member dealerships. The study provides transparency into labour market trends while also highlighting persistent challenges such as gender underrepresentation and high turnover in certain roles.

The Canadian Automobile Dealers Association (CADA) has joined forces with Kudelski IoT and RecovR to launch the CADA 360 Security Services program. This initiative aims to combat rising vehicle theft through innovative multi-technology tracking solutions and active legislative advocacy to curb theft, benefiting dealers and consumers across Canada.

CADA announced its new CADA 360 Security Services program, powered by RecovR in collaboration with Kudelski IoT. The service is designed to help dealerships manage vehicle inventory and rapidly recover stolen vehicles, while the organization also emphasized its advocacy in Ottawa to support legislation aimed at curbing auto theft.

CADA published its 2023 Economic Impact Report highlighting the significant contributions of auto dealers to Canada's GDP, employment, and tax revenues. The report is designed as an advocacy tool to inform regional and provincial policymakers about the importance of the automotive retail sector.

On October 30, 2023, CADA met with members of the Conservative Party’s Auto Caucus in Ottawa to present dealer concerns. The meeting focused on issues such as the Liberal government's proposed EV mandate—which they argue could trigger a vehicle affordability crisis—as well as safety concerns over the stolen vehicle crisis. By actively engaging with Conservative MPs, CADA sought to influence policy favoring dealer interests.

CADA submitted a formal response to the federal electric vehicle mandate, outlining key policy recommendations such as enhancing consumer purchase incentives, expanding accessible public charging infrastructure, initiating public awareness campaigns, and promoting collaborative regulatory support. The response follows a period of vigorous lobbying alongside OEMs, aiming to ensure that necessary structural preconditions are met for the mass adoption of EVs in Canada.

CADA published its National Workforce Study providing detailed insights into salary levels, employee turnover, and gender disparities across Canadian auto dealerships. The report offers a data foundation for advocacy by revealing that dealership employees earn significantly above the national average while also highlighting persistent issues such as lower female representation and higher turnover rates for women.
