Subaru is a auto company which manufactures for the Japanese transportation conglomerate division of Fuji Heavy Industires Group (FHI). Subaru is known to use boxer engines which is is an internal combustion engine with multiple pistons that all move in the horizontal plane. Boxer engines have better stability and control when comapred ot other types of engines in the auto industry.
Subaru’s parent company known as Fuji Heavy Industries is currently partnered with Toyota Motor Corporation. In the Japanese language the name Subaru translates to “govern” or “to unite”. The constelation of stars symbolize the five companies
FHI’s origins were in the Aircraft Research laboratory back in 1917. At the time, Chikuhei Nakajima was the heading the company. In 1932, Kakajima Aircraft Company, Ltd. became their new indentification. It was in that year that Nakajima Aircraft Company (NAC) became the primary manufacturer of aircrafts for the Japanes military during World War II. After the war, they changed names once again to Fuji Sangyo Co, Ltd. In 1946, the company created it’s first motor scooter. Fuji Sangyo was then divided into 12 smaller corpoirations. During this dramatic changem, four of the 12 corporations merged into Fuji Heavy Indostures of today. The four companies mentioned were: Fuji Kogyo, a scooter manufacturers, Fuji Jidosha, engine manufacturers, Omiya Fuji Kogyo, chasis builders, and Utsunomiya Sharyo a trading company.
Kenji Kita, was the CEO of Fuji Heavy Industries at the time. His mayor goal was to create a company that was involved in car manufacturing. Soon, he began plans for building a car which had a code named: P-1. Not satisfied with the name for the new vehicle, Mr Kita decided to change the name. After may proposals were not appealing enough, he decided on Subaru because of his childhood memories. Subaru 1500 was the concluding name of the first vehicle ever made by FHI.
