Automakers are facing a potential game-changer in the form of "knock-down" car kits, which allow consumers to purchase and assemble their own vehicles in the comfort of their own garages. These DIY kits, typically sourced from companies in countries with lower labor costs, have been gaining popularity in recent years, particularly among enthusiasts and small-scale manufacturers. As the technology and manufacturing processes continue to improve, experts warn that the rise of knock-down kits could disrupt the traditional automotive industry, potentially spelling disaster for established manufacturers who rely on a lucrative market of assembled vehicles. The Financial Post investigation delves into the implications of this emerging trend and what it means for the future of the automotive sector.
