Fuji Heavy Industries, manufacturer of transportation, space related products, and Subaru automobiles, announced the major features of its Subaru vehicles and their technologies, which will be exhibited at the 37th Tokyo Motor Show
In the booth, the Symmetrical AWD the core technology to our ideal performance criteria and the next-generation power source, Subarus own advanced technologies to move and satisfy people through driving are shown. The two concept cars exhibited are created by Subarus design team headed by Advanced Designs Chief Designer Andreas Zapatinas. Subarus nextgeneration design trends, in which the function of the car and emotional aesthetics are shown in those concept cars.
Subaru B9 Scrambler. B9 is a scrambler type automobile just like such kind of motorcycle had been existed and it means open air and on/off-road availability.
The cars powertrain is called Sequential Series Hybrid Electric Vehicle (SSHEV) a fusion of our own Symmetrical AWD and the latest HEV technologies.
The SSHEV system drives the car at the most frequently used speed ranges (up to around 80 km/h) with a high-performance motor and realizes smooth acceleration, good fuel efficiency and superb environmental performances.
With the run-flat tires on, the B9 Scrambler features the variable-height air suspension that can adjust minimum ground clearance from 150 mm to 200 mm, in addition to the auto leveling function.
The styling, free from stereotypes and existing limitations, is advanced yet gives somewhat familiar feelings. The design elements found on the B9 Scrambler such as the dashboard that conjures up an image of an aircrafts wing, suggest Subarus tradition as an aircraft manufacturer and our design trends in the future.
