Did you know that Subaru also works in heavy machinery to build vital tools for other industries? Subaru and parent company make transportation vehicles and other types of vehicles that require extensive engineering skill to design well. One such vehicle is a Subaru-powered hybrid truck that the US Army is testing.

The vehicle uses a specially designed Subaru turbodiesel engine with the intention of keeping it as light as possible. The engine also pairs with two electronic motors to give the vehicle a range long enough to do the job. Why is this important? Lighter vehicles can maneuver better, get better range, and can better protect soldiers from threats to their safety. Subaru is jut one part of this highly adaptable and revolutionary armored vehicle.

While Subaru’s turbodiesel engines won’t find their way into consumer vehicles anytime soon, Subaru is spending time making sure they can produce the best engines for machines like this one. Other vehicles that use Subaru engines include buses and public transit vehicles. Turbodiesel engines are used in a wide variety of vehicles and machines and the better this technology becomes, the more easily it can be used in different ways. When you buy a Subaru vehicle, you’re supporting Subaru’s efforts to better engineer the world.

Subaru also applies this same logic to their engineering work with consumer vehicles. As engines become better, lighter, and more adaptable to the needs of everyday life, the better Subaru’s consumer vehicles will become. When engines use less fuel to generate more power, Subaru is doing a good thing for everyone. Since Subaru makes large-scale engines and smaller consumer ones, they use their research in both departments to identify ways to better serve customers. When you buy a Subaru, you’re part of that innovation.
