Initially known as L’Auto-Neige Bombardier Limitée, it began manufacturing snowmobiles and later expanded into ATVs, motorcycles, and side-by-side vehicles. BRP acquired Can-Am in 1972, focusing production on high-performance motocross and enduro motorcycles.

By 2007, Can-Am rebranded its ATV segment and began manufacturing models in facilities across Canada, the United States, Mexico, Finland, and Austria. Can-Am vehicles have achieved success in motorsports, including winning multiple Dakar Rally events and GNCC championships. As of 2022, Can-Am continues to produce models such as the Renegade and Outlander, alongside the Defender and Maverick, with a focus on providing vehicles for diverse outdoor activities.
