Subaru General Purpose Engine "EX Series" Cumulative Production Hits 3 Million Units
Tokyo, January 11, 2012 - Fuji Heavy Industries Ltd. (FHI),
the maker of Subaru automobiles, reached the 3 million-unit
cumulative production of Subaru general purpose engine "EX
Series" on January 6, 2012. It has been approximately 10
years since the start of production with the EX Series
engines in December 2001.
The EX Series engines* ensure high reliability and durability
by the chain-driven overhead cam (OHC) mechanism, which is
based on the technology of Subaru automobile "Legacy" model,
as well as the highly rigid engine block and highly efficient
cooling and lubricating system. The optimized combustion
chamber and intake port realize highly efficient combustion
and air intake, which ensure higher power along with lower
exhaust emissions and less fuel consumption. Furthermore, the
Subaru EX Series engines offer quieter operation thanks to
lower mechanical noise by the OHC mechanism as well as
optimum design of exhaust silencer, and easy "one-pull"
starting with less recoil pulling force. All in all, the
Subaru EX Series engines have been received well as user- and
environment-friendly engines. *The 7models (from
126cc(4.3HP) to 404cc(14HP)) are provided
