Tokyo, Feb 23, 2012 (JCN) - Fuji Heavy Industries Ltd (FHI) has announced that 2012 marks 30 years of engine and transmission production in its Gunma Oizumi Plant in Japan.
FHI's Gunma plants consist of five automobile production plants located mainly around Ota city in Gunma prefecture, Japan. The Oizumi Plant, one of the Gunma plants, produces all types of Horizontally-Opposed Boxer engine (1.6-liter, 2.0-liter, 2.5-liter and 3.6-liter) and all transmissions, including the Lineartronic-CVT. The Symmetrical AWD (All-Wheel Drive), combined with Boxer engines and transmissions, is a core technology of Subaru, offering a low center of gravity, optimized weight balance and side-to-side symmetry.
FHI started its engine and transmission production in the Mitaka Plant (current Tokyo Office) located in Mitaka-city, Tokyo in 1958. The Oizumi Plant started operation in 1982 to increase production capacity of power units. Since then, the operation has gradually transferred from the Mitaka to the Oizumi, and consolidation of engine and transmission production was completed in April 1999.
FHI built its fifth plant on the grounds of the Oizumi Plant in July 2010 and established a highly efficient production system delivering high quality products. The plant, with a monthly production capacity of 40,000 units, produces the new generation boxer engine, which enables an approximate 10% improvement in fuel efficiency.
