Subaru Expands Product Line with Axles
LAS VEGAS (Feb. 2, 2016) – Subaru Industrial Power Products expands its market
reach by offering customers a series of hydrostatic and mechanical axles. The axles fit on
a range of small equipment such as utility vehicles, golf cars, walk-behind machines, turf
equipment and mini-crawlers. Original equipment manufacturers can incorporate the
axles with Subaru’s line of gas-powered engines for a complete powertrain.
“Subaru has always been a leader in technology and innovation. We brought the
automotive technology of overhead cam to the small engine market and revolutionized
engine designs,” Frank said. “This is one more area where we can share the technology
and expertise of our sister division, Fuji Machinery, to bring substantial benefits to the
equipment market.”
Fuji Machinery supplies Subaru automotive the transmission for the STI Sports car, as
well as many components. Customers recognized Fuji Machinery’s capabilities to cut
their own gears, and several OEMs inquired Subaru about their ability to manufacture
axles.
Subaru responded by introducing a line of axles that include nine models that feature
heavy-duty construction, forged gears, brass synchronizers and built-in parking brakes or
wheel brakes. The first axles were sold to manufacturers in the motorcycle, golf car and
all-terrain vehicle and utility-task vehicle industries. Several axle models include bevel
pinion gear type differentials, and two of the axles are designed for use with electric drive
systems.
Subaru expects to diversify into other gasoline-engine driven applications in outdoor
power, concrete and light construction industries that benefit from adding axles.
“In the future we want to offer customers a full Subaru powertrain. This gives us the
ability to meet customer demand and the versatility to move into more applications,”
Frank said.
Subaru is featuring the axles at booth C4537 at World of Concrete.
