(FHI), a comprehensive, multifaceted transport equipment manufacturer. FHI develops a range of innovative products based on reliable technology in various and diversified areas such as automobiles, aerospace, bus manufacturing, house prefabricating, industrial products, transportation and ecology systems. Aiming to be a major global player in the twenty-first century, FHI creates and develops innovative products by taking a pioneering stance while respecting tradition.

Subaru's range includes the Forester, Legacy, Outback, Impreza, Impreza Sports Wagon, Impreza WRX and the Impreza WRX STi. Collectively, they have been known to be "driver's" cars offering superb handling because of its All-Wheel Drive technology built into every model 01. What does Subaru stand for? Subaru is the Japanese translation for Pleiades, which refers to a star cluster in the Taurus constellation. Six of its stars are visible to the naked eye, which are used in the Subaru logo. Interestingly, FHI was also created through the merger of six companies. 02. How did Subaru obtain its expertise in car manufacturing? FHI is the successor to Nakajima Aircraft, originally established as the Aircraft Research Laboratory in 1917 by Chikuhei Nakajima. Nakajima first produced airplanes for the Japanese navy, but soon left to establish Japan’s leading aircraft manufacturing company. When World War II ended, the company sought new ways to make use of the technologies garnered in aircraft production, and formed Fuji Heavy Industries (FHI), which created Japan’s first prototype motor scooter. In 1951, FHI merged its expertise with five companies involved in scooter manufacturing, concept and bodywork production, engine manufacturing, rolling stock manufacturing and trading to begin full-scale activities of FHI. This signalled the start of full-scale car manufacturing, starting with the birth of the Subaru 360, an endearing passenger car with a distinctive personality. 03. What makes Subaru cars different from other makes? Subaru is currently the only car marque that features the symmetrical All-Wheel Drive across the entire Subaru line-up. Every Subaru is equipped with a lightweight, high power, horizontally-opposed "boxer" engine with a low center of gravity.
