History

FHI started out as "The Aircraft Research Laboratory" in 1917 headed by Chikuhei Nakajima.

Later on in his life, he... The Nakajima Aircraft Company (Japanese:中島飛行機株式会社/Nakajima Hikoki Kabushiki Kaisha) was a prominent Japanese aircraft manufacturer throughout World War II. Japans first aircraft manufacturer, it was founded in 1917 by Chikuhei Nakajima and took the name Nakajima Aircraft Company in 1931. ...


At the end of the Second World War, Nakajima Aircraft was again reorganized, this time as Fuji Sangyo Co, Ltd. In 1946, Fuji Sangyo created the Fuji Rabbit motor scooter with spare aircraft parts from the war. [1]In 1950, Fuji Sangyo was divided into 12 smaller corporations according to the Japanese Government's 1950 Corporate Credit Rearrangement Act, but between 1953-1955, four of these corporations and a newly formed corporation, known as Fuji Kogyo, Fuji Jidosha, Omiya Fuji Kogyo, Utsunomiya Sharyo and Tokyo Fuji Dangyo, decided to merge together to form the Fuji Heavy Industries we know today. The Fuji Rabbit was a motor scooter produced in Japan by Fuji Heavy Industries from 1946 through 1968. ...


Kenji Kita, the CEO of Fuji Heavy Industries at the time, wanted the new company to be involved in car manufacturing, and chose the name Subaru to grace its first car, the Subaru P1 in 1954. Mr. Kita canvassed the Company for suggestions about naming the P-1, but none of the proposals were appealing. In the end, Mr. Kita gave the car a Japanese name that he had been his personal favorite--- Subaru. [2] From 1954 to 1997 the company designed and manufactured dozens of vehicles including the P1 (1954), the tiny air-cooled 360 (1958), the Sambar (1961), the 1000(1965), the 1100 and the R2 (1969), the Leone (1971), the Domingo (1983), the Alcyone (1985), the Legacy (1989), the Sambar EV electric van (1995), and the Forester (1997).

Corporate owners

On October 5, 2005 Toyota Motor Corporation purchased 8.7% shares of FHI shares from General Motors who had purchase the 8.7% in 1999 from Nissan, so that GM could have an extended presence in international markets, and collaborate technologically with FHI. GM later decided to divest its 8.7% stake and eventually sever all ties with FHI. FHI previously stated that there might have been 27 million shares (3.4%) acquired before the start of trading by an unknown party on October 6, 2005, and speculation suggested that a bank or perhaps another automaker was involved. After the purchase, Toyota announced a contract with Subaru on March 13, 2006 to use the under-utilized USA Subaru manufacturing facility in Lafayette, Indiana, and Toyota announced plans to hire up to 1,000 workers and set aside an assembly line for the Camry model, beginning in spring 2007. An article posted on Autoblog stated that Toyota is considering purchasing more shares in FHI, to 17%.[2] To meet Wikipedias quality standards, this article may require cleanup. ...

Before GM's ownership, Nissan had acquired the 8.7% stake in 1968 during a period of government-ordered merging of Japanese auto industry to merge in order for improved competitiveness under the administration of Prime Minister Eisaku Sato. Nissan would utilize FHI's bus manufacturing capability and expertise for their Nissan Diesel line of buses. In turn, many Subaru vehicles, even today, use parts from the Nissan manufacturing keiretsu. Speculation has suggested that it was Subaru that introduced Renault to Nissan, when Nissan asked for assistance in all-wheel drive (AWD) technology, and when FHI might have suggested that Renault discuss their plans with Nissan, the discussions may have been a contributing factor to the currently successful Renault-Nissan alliance.

Marketing efforts

In the 1990's, the company moved away from small commercial vehicles and concentrated on the development of mainstream passenger car models, and when Subaru introduced the Legacy in 1989, it was well received. The Legacy was considered mainstream in its appearance and a departure from previous vehicles, which had earned a reputation of being "quirky". It was perceived by some as Subaru's attempt to compete with new luxury brands Lexus, Infiniti and Acura, as Japanese vehicles were increasing in popularity, particularly in the USA. Subaru continued their new direction with the controversially styled six-cylinder SVX (1992), and the Impreza (1993). The Alcyone SVX, also known in the United States as the Subaru SVX, was a mid-sized, high-performance sports-touring coupé sold by Subaru from 1991 to 1997. ... For the high-performance versions of the Impreza, see Subaru Impreza WRX and Subaru Impreza WRX STi The Subaru Impreza is a compact car that was first introduced by Subaru in 1993. ...


From 1995 to 2000, Subaru ran a series of advertisements for the newly developed Subaru Outback which starred Paul Hogan. The advertisements were intended to highlight Subaru's all wheel drive, and depicted the Outback in a number of rugged Australian locations. The tagline "the world's first sport utility wagon" was successfully used by Subaru, though the AMC Eagle had tried much the same idea, with less success in the 1980s. For other uses, see Outback (disambiguation). ... Paul Hogan starring as Crocodile Dundee. ... 1980 AMC Eagle drivetrain and suspension components. ...


As a result of this refocused advertising campaign, Subaru products began to attract a following among the young and educated, and as a lightweight, affordable, economical SUV alternative to the likes of the Ford Bronco and Jeep Wagoneer or the exclusive Volvo. Subaru has historically been popular in US regions such as the Pacific Northwest , the North American Rocky Mountains region, and especially in New England, with relatively high resale values and owner loyalty rates in those regions. However, facing pressure from competition from the large Japanese brands, Subaru began to market only AWD cars and wagons for the American market. The Subaru Outback wagon, based on the Legacy and modified with SUV-like stance, bumpers, and roof, became one of the best selling wagons in the US during the 2000s. The Ford Bronco was an SUV produced from 1966 through 1996, with five distinct generations. ... 1976 AMC Jeep Wagoneer Jeep Wagoneer (XJ model) The Jeep Wagoneer was an early SUV, produced under varying marques from 1963 to 1991. ...

The company has also developed energy efficient hybrid vehicles as well as a recycling plan for their "end-of-life" cars.[7]
