Climate Change

SUBARU has established the Environment Committee for the purpose of promoting the sustainable growth of both society and the Company, and thereby contributing to global environment conservation. The committee discusses targets and measures from broad as well as medium- to long-term perspectives that accommodate environmental standards required by future societies, and evaluates the progress of related implementations and achievements.
The Environment Committee is chaired by the Executive Officer in charge of the Sustainability Division appointed by the Board of Directors. Details of discussions by the Environment Committee are reported to the Sustainability Committee. We also have a system for escalation and reporting to the Executive Management Board Meeting and Board of Directors to be used as necessary. Management of climate change-related activities is included in the responsibilities of the environmental management structure. Environmental risks and opportunities associated with climate change are assessed and monitored, and undergo management review before major issues are reported to the Board of Directors. Each of the five bodies within the structure—Production & Environment Subcommittee, Global Warming Prevention Working Group, Domestic Affiliated Companies’ Environment Subcommittee, Sales and Service Environment Subcommittee, and Logistics Environment Subcommittee—meet twice a year for the purpose of monitoring.
To help decarbonize society by reducing CO₂ emissions over the entire business life cycle, in FYE March 2022 SUBARU designated departments to take charge of each of the five areas of “product use,” “materials and components,” “transportation,” “disposal,” and “manufacturing.” Representatives of the departments involved in each of these areas come together at the monthly CN Promotion Meeting. This meeting is a forum for information sharing and putting together a master plan for achieving carbon neutrality by 2050. SUBARU operates cross-company forums whose aim is CO₂ reduction over the entire life cycle and whose activities are subject to the overall supervision of the Environment Committee as part of carbon neutrality initiatives.

Governance Structure for Climate Change

SUBARU defines and identifies risks and opportunities associated with climate change to achieve sustainable business activities.
We have identified a number of risks associated with climate change. Initiatives to address climate change may be inadequate or abnormal weather may cause delays in procurement, production, and distribution. In addition, transition risks and physical risks may have impacts and outcomes that are currently extremely difficult to predict. Increased R&D expenses, lost sales opportunities due to reduced customer satisfaction and brand image, and delays in procurement, production, and distribution due to abnormal weather are among the potential impacts of these risks. These risks could have a material impact on the operating results and financial position of the SUBARU Group.
On the other hand, effective initiatives to address climate change could lead to opportunities to create new markets and employment and also use capital and energy more efficiently.

Business Management in General

Reputational risk

① If SUBARU fails to implement adequate initiatives to achieve low-carbon/zero-carbon outcomes, its brand value could be harmed, which could affect the Company’s sales and recruiting ability. Capital costs could also rise, due to increased difficulty in obtaining financing from medium- and long-term investors.

Regulatory risk

② There is an argument that nationally determined contributions (NDCs) need to be expanded to be able to achieve the Paris Agreement’s “well below 2°C” target, and thus countries may revise their NDCs to set more stringent targets. Such revisions could have a significant impact on SUBARU’s business activities.

Acute physical risk

③ As an impact of climate change, extreme torrential rain will frequently cause floods in various locations, which could pose risks of SUBARU’s operations being affected by disrupted supply of raw materials and submerged factories.

Products

Regulatory risk

① If SUBARU fails to meet fuel economy regulations imposed in Japan, the U.S., Europe, and China, the Company could incur additional costs or losses related to negative incentives, such as fines or non-penal fines for legal violation, and credit purchase for unmet standards. Also, some of our products could fail to satisfy certain fuel economy standards, resulting in restrained sales opportunities.

Market risk

② At present, it is difficult to predict technological progress and price optimization for electrification, which will likely cause a substantial gap with the real state of market needs. In such a situation, SUBARU could incur unnecessary and excessive R&D costs while facing a decline in customer satisfaction, resulting in unexpected losses and reduced sales opportunities as well as hampered advancement of the Company’s electrification efforts.

③ SUBARU views electrification as a steady medium- to long-term trend, and also anticipates the possibility of its swift and sweeping penetration of the market at some stage. SUBARU could be unprepared for such prospect in terms of technology and timely product lineups, and thus suffer from a resultant loss of product sales opportunities.

Technology risk

④ To promote electrification, it is crucial to ensure profitability for the entire product cycle ranging from procurement and use to disposal. Thus, it is essential to involve SUBARU’s upstream and downstream partners in exerting efforts toward this end. Failure to do this could render the Company unable to meet the profitability goal for the entire product life cycle.

Chronic physical risk

⑤ There is a possibility that SUBARU might suffer from shortages of natural resources used for tires and metal resources for electrification technologies.

Production Phase

Regulatory risk

① If SUBARU continues to use energy derived from fossil fuels, it could incur rising costs, due not only to geopolitical factors associated with petroleum and the like, but also to carbon taxes, emission quotas, and other government policies and regulations.

Technology risk

② If use of renewable energy does not grow as expected, SUBARU could face slower progress in achieving its Scope 1 and 2 emissions reduction goals.

Market opportunity

① If SUBARU advances its efforts to make products more environmentally friendly as planned and global climate change mitigation/adaptation efforts progress adequately, the Company will be able to maintain its key markets while at the same time potentially expanding in markets receptive to its offer of “Enjoyment and Peace of Mind.”

② Through contributing to addressing climate change issues, SUBARU could increase its brand value, thereby enhancing its sales and recruiting ability. This could make it easier for the Company to obtain financing from investors, thereby lowering capital costs.

Energy source opportunity

③ Regarding energy use during the production phase, by transitioning to renewable energy while at the same time giving due consideration to cost-effectiveness, SUBARU could overcome the risk of being exposed to price fluctuations involved in energy derived from fossil fuels, thereby preventing future cost increases.

Note:

The risks and opportunities described above are based on past facts and currently available information, and may change significantly due to such factors as future economic trends and the business environment facing SUBARU. The opportunities described represent those for SUBARU’s products to contribute to climate change adaptation and do not anticipate climate change-related deterioration.

The automotive industry is ushering in a major transformation, which only occurs once in a hundred years. The SUBARU Group, which operates businesses globally, is aiming to enhance the resilience of its management infrastructure by ensuring the sustainability of its businesses by quickly tackling changes in world affairs. At the same time, the Group must boost its measures to minimize its human, social, and economic losses. Amid this environment, it is essential to strategically conduct risk management throughout the Group to conduct business activities. We therefore believe it is important to create a SUBARU Group that has an infrastructure that is resilient to risk to enhance our corporate value.
To address climate change-related transition risks in policy and regulation, technology, markets, and other items, dedicated departments at SUBARU gather information from a wide range of sources and work to identify uncertain climate change-related risks from future projections. Such transition risks are presented and discussed at the Executive Meeting. The Executive Management Board Meeting and the Board of Directors, which are the relevant decision-making bodies, then determine measures in response.
The physical risks associated with climate change include flooding and other natural disasters. The Risk Management and Compliance Office plays a pivotal role in establishing regulations in response to these operational risks as part of the BCP^*1 system. During emergencies, the office centrally grasps Group-wide information, establishing a system to manage company-wide response.

Risk Management

For FYE March 2022, SUBARU has reported a total of 23,351 thousand t-CO₂ of supply chain greenhouse gas emissions (Scope 1, 2, and 3). Out of the total amount, 98% is related to Scope 3, the majority of which stems from the use of sold products. Although our direct CO₂ emissions (Scope 1 and 2) constitute only a marginal portion of the total, we are making proactive efforts to diminish direct emissions, which we believe will encourage the entire SUBARU value chain to work as a team and in greater earnest.
In FYE March 2022, Scope 1 and 2 emissions decreased by 34 thousand tons and energy consumption by 312 TJ compared to the previous fiscal year due to the use of renewable energy and the temporary suspension of factory operations due to COVID-19 and semiconductor shortages. Going forward, we will introduce cutting-edge energy conservation functions and renewable energy sources in order to further reduce CO₂ emissions and energy use.
To bring it into line with the basis for consolidation of the financial statements, the scope of data aggregation on Scope 1 and 2 emissions has been revised to cover SUBARU, its 52 domestic consolidated subsidiaries, and its four overseas consolidated subsidiaries. Data for FYE March 2017 and later periods have been adjusted accordingly. Certain non-manufacturing sites in Europe and China are not included. However, the revised scope of data aggregation covers 99% of the SUBARU Group’s Scope 1 and 2 emissions (based on proportion of workforce covered).

Scope 1:

Direct emissions of greenhouse gases from a company’s own facilities.

Scope 2:

Indirect emissions of greenhouse gases from the use of purchased or acquired electricity, heat, and/or steam supplied by another company.

Scope 3:

All indirect emissions other than Scope 1 and 2 emissions, including those arising from the procurement of raw materials, transport, product use, and the disposal process, as well as arising from employee commuting, business travel, etc.

Scope:

SUBARU:

SUBARU CORPORATION

Group companies in Japan:

52 domestic consolidated subsidiaries (including 33 SUBARU domestic dealerships that are consolidated subsidiaries)

Group companies overseas:

Subaru of Indiana Automotive, Inc., Subaru of America, Inc., Subaru of Canada, Inc., Subaru Research & Development, Inc.

SUBARU calculates CO₂ emissions within Japan based on the Act on Promotion of Global Warming Countermeasures. However, emission factors for electricity at Group companies overseas are based on the most recent country-specific CO₂ emission intensities for all power sources published annually by the International Energy Agency (IEA), while emission factors for fuel at Group companies overseas are based on CO₂ emission intensities published by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA). Changes have been made to the scope of aggregation for Group companies in Japan and emission factors for electricity at Group companies overseas. Therefore, results from the previous fiscal year have been revised.

Scope:

SUBARU:

SUBARU CORPORATION

Group companies in Japan:

52 domestic consolidated subsidiaries (including 33 SUBARU domestic dealerships that are consolidated subsidiaries)

Group companies overseas:

Subaru of Indiana Automotive, Inc., Subaru of America, Inc., Subaru of Canada, Inc., Subaru Research & Development, Inc.

SUBARU calculates energy consumption (GJ) based on the Act on the Rational Use of Energy for consumption within Japan, and based on the EPA’s published figures for consumption at Group companies overseas.
As the scope of data aggregation for the Group companies in Japan has been altered to bring it in line with the consolidated subsidiaries, the figures for previous fiscal years have been adjusted.

Initiatives

SUBARU is reducing its CO₂ emissions by using renewable energy and upgrading to highly efficient machinery and equipment with the aim of achieving carbon neutrality by 2050.
Renewable energy in FYE March 2022 accounted for 5.0% of the energy consumption of the entire SUBARU Group and 14.7% of its total electricity consumption. All of the electricity purchased at the Gunma Main Plant, Utsunomiya South Plant and 2nd South Plant, the Ebisu Subaru Building, and the SUBARU Academy is carbon-neutral electric power.
In addition, Subaru Kohsan Co., Ltd. sells solar generated from solar power generation facilities in Gunma and Shiga prefectures.

CO₂ reduction impact of various measures in FYE March 2022

Gunma Plant

The Gunma Plant’s West Building, completed in April 2016, has installed 20 kW of solar power generation equipment, and employed two key advanced environmental functions: a new-generation lighting system that has incorporated individual address control and image-pickup human-presence sensor technologies, and a high-efficiency air-cooling heat-pump chiller. As well as adding solar power generation capacity of 300 kW at its model facility and 105 kW at its trial production facility in FYE March 2022, the plant has also adopted a number of non-mechanical features that can help achieve energy conservation and workplace comfort, such as low-E double-pane windows, trench heating/cooling systems, and balconies that create an attractive recreation space while also serving as a sunlight blocker.

Purchase of Carbon-Neutral Electricity (Gunma Main Plant, Oizumi Plant)

The Gunma Main Plant had been purchasing a portion of its electricity through the Aqua Premium rate plan specifically for sales of hydropower, but switched to the Gunma Hydropower plan in November 2020. All of its electricity is now derived from hydropower, which reduced CO₂ emissions by approximately 25,000 tons in FYE March 2022.
We also reduced CO₂ emissions by approximately 2,474 tons by using non-fossil fuel certificates for the approximately 5,586 MWh of electricity the Oizumi Plant of Gunma Manufacturing Co., Ltd. purchased in FYE March 2022.

Introduction of High-efficiency Air-conditioning Systems (Gunma Yajima Plant)

The automobile painting process involves repeated heating and cooling steps, which consumes a huge amount of energy. To address this issue, the Gunma Yajima Plant adopted a heat pump-based highly efficient heat source system to replace the previous discrete heat source system, starting its operation in 2018. In FYE March 2022, the new technology reduced CO₂ emissions by 2,045 tons compared with the previous system.
We also replaced the aging cooling water supply system of the 3rd Paint Plant. In April 2022, the plant, which had previously used an absorption chiller with city gas as the heat source, introduced a centrifugal chiller with an electrically operated heat pump. In July, the plant began operation of a gas-fired absorption chiller with warm water from the cogeneration facility as the heat source. The replacement of the cooling water supply systems will enable us to further reduce CO₂ emissions.

Replacement of Cogeneration Facilities

At the Gunma Plant, we operate cogeneration facilities at the Main Plant, Oizumi Plant, and Yajima Plant to promote efficient energy use. The aging cogeneration facility of the Yajima Plant, the first to be installed, was replaced in 2019 after 15 years in service. For the replacement, we selected a model with specifications that make a greater contribution to energy savings in light of the most recent energy consumption profile. In FYE March 2022, the new facility achieved a CO₂ emissions reduction of 4,390 t-CO₂.
In FYE March 2022, we also replaced the cogeneration facility of the Oizumi Plant. The new system began operation in June 2022. By upgrading to more efficient facilities, we aim to enhance our CO₂ emissions reduction.

Solar Power Generation at the Gunma Oizumi Plant and the Gunma Yajima Plant

Solar power generation facilities are in operation at the Gunma Plant’s three production sites and achieved a CO₂ emissions reduction of approximately 3,057 t-CO₂ in FYE March 2022.
At the Yajima Plant, June 2022 saw the start of operation for additional solar power generation facilities at the multi-story parking garage (solar panel capacity: 630 kW) and the final vehicle inspection wing (solar panel capacity: 853 kW).

Aerospace Company (Utsunomiya Plant and Handa Plant)

Carbon-Neutral Electricity Purchased through the Tochigi Furusato Denki Program for Regional Production and Consumption

In FYE March 2019, SUBARU’s Aerospace Company adopted the Tochigi Furusato Denki program^*1 to provide electricity to its Utsunomiya South and 2nd South Plants. The program offers electricity from hydropower generation projects owned by Tochigi Prefecture, and represents Japan’s first-ever power supply program themed on the “local production for local consumption” concept.
The above program enables the two plants to reduce emissions by an average of 4,000-plus t-CO₂ per year. This program also includes a scheme to spend part of the funds from bill payment, including from SUBARU, on environmental conservation projects promoted in Tochigi Prefecture.

*1

Electricity service program co-hosted by the Tochigi Public Enterprise Bureau and TEPCO Energy Partner, Inc. Supplies electricity generated by eight hydroelectric power stations run by the Tochigi prefectural government. Hydropower users can claim to be emitting no CO₂ from using the electricity, on the grounds of its CO₂-free generation process.

Replacement of Cogeneration Facilities

In addition to reducing CO₂ emissions, since March 2021 the cogeneration system has enhanced community and employee safety with its blackout start function that can initiate power generation if the power grid goes down for an extended period.

IoT Enables Stable Supply of Factory Air and Improved Energy Efficiency

SUBARU is moving forward with DX driven by ICT and the IoT beginning the systemization of air factory analysis, data analysis, and the introduction of countermeasures in November 2019. We have implemented three measures: investigating and repairing air leaks, restricting air supply, and improving operating efficiency. We expect energy savings to reduce CO₂ emissions by 500 tons per year.

Improve Compressor Operating Efficiency

Tokyo Office

The Tokyo Office is in Mitaka City, Tokyo. It is subject to the Tokyo Cap-and-Trade Program for large facilities as per the Tokyo Metropolitan Environmental Security Ordinance. The Tokyo Office is therefore reducing CO₂ emissions with two priority initiatives: promoting energy conservation by improving facilities and by proactively adopting energy-saving equipment.
We are also working to utilize renewable energy, and have installed rooftop solar power generation equipment (total rated output of 30 kW) at our facilities. In FYE March 2022, the facilities generated 38 MWh of electricity for use in-house, achieving a CO₂ emissions reduction of 17 t-CO₂. We also purchased Green Power Certificates equivalent to 8,535 MWh of electric power, or CO₂ emissions of 3,781 t-CO₂, during the fiscal year.

Offices

Head Office (Ebisu Subaru Building) and SUBARU Academy

In FYE March 2022, by switching to a power contract with a zero coefficient and using the Green Heat Certificate system, the Head Office realized carbon neutrality on CO₂ emissions of 883 t-CO₂, thus achieving net zero emissions.

SUBARU Accessory Center

In FYE March 2022, the use of 459 MWh of electric power generated by solar power facilities installed in March 2020 resulted in a yearly CO₂ emissions reduction of 204 t-CO₂.

SUBARU Research and Experiment Center

The SUBARU Research and Experiment Center installed solar power generation equipment in FYE March 2018, and generated 81 MWh in FYE March 2022, resulting in a yearly CO₂ emissions reduction of 74 t-CO₂.

Group companies in Japan

Fuji Machinery Co., Ltd.

The Oizumi Plant of Fuji Machinery Co., Ltd. installed solar power generation equipment in FYE March 2018, and generated 37 MWh.

Ichitan Co., Ltd.

Ichitan Co., Ltd. has been reducing annual CO₂ emissions by 3,000 t-CO₂ by purchasing CO₂-free electricity.

Subaru Kohsan Co., Ltd.

Subaru Kohsan Co., Ltd. entered the business of marketing electricity from solar power generation operations. It sells electricity generated from solar power equipment with a rated output of 420 kW (equivalent to 100 detached houses) installed in Kiryu, Gunma Prefecture, and, as of March 2021, equipment with a rated output of 1,470 kW (equivalent to 350 detached houses) installed in Konan, Shiga Prefecture. The company has also promoted the use of renewable energy by installing solar power generation facilities at its Ota S Building and the new wing of its Higashi-Nagaoka company dormitory.

Group companies overseas

Subaru of Indiana Automotive, Inc.

Subaru of Indiana Automotive, Inc.’s Technical Training Center has solar power generation equipment on its roof and LED lighting with motion sensors for all indoor lighting. In addition, the company has reduced electricity use by replacing compressors and other air-conditioning equipment.

Subaru of America, Inc.

Subaru of America, Inc.’s new headquarters and National Service Training Center have acquired silver LEED certification,^*2 which is higher than standard certification. By installing automated equipment at its headquarters building and National Service Training Center in 2021, the company established comprehensive air-conditioning systems with more efficient energy utilization.
Among the notable features of the headquarters building are its use of 100% renewable energy, the installation of charging facilities ahead of the sales launch of the SOLTERRA BEV in 2022, and the operation of an efficient air-conditioning system and LED lighting. In April 2021, the company installed daylight harvesting technology in its headquarters foyer which achieves the appropriate level of brightness for the space by balancing natural light with just the required level of electric lighting, reducing energy consumption and CO₂ emissions.
To coincide with the relocation of its Southern California Regional Distribution Center, the company has added a further 2 MWh of solar power generation capacity, which it expects will reduce CO₂ emissions by approximately 1,400 t-CO₂ a year.

Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) certification is a green building certification system developed and operated by the U.S. Green Building Council (USGBC). It provides objective environmental performance data on buildings through evaluation of energy conservation and environmental impact reduction abilities for a range of project stages from overall planning and design to construction, management, and maintenance. Acquisition of the certification is becoming popular in the U.S. and in other countries.

Subaru Canada, Inc.

The building that houses the relocated office of Scott Subaru, a retailer of Subaru Canada, Inc., from 2019 boasts a distinctive, highly energy-efficient design that enables comfort without an air-conditioning system. In recognition of this, the building is the world’s first retail facility to obtain a passive house certification.

Distribution

SUBARU is collaborating across the entire Group, including with logistics companies, dealerships, as well as with other automotive industry players to reduce CO₂ emissions in logistics operations by an annual 1% through increased transport efficiency for finished vehicles and export parts. We will work to further enhance supply chain management, which will contribute to carbon neutrality by 2050.

SUBARU’s logistics system

Transport of Finished Vehicles

SUBARU is establishing optimal standard routes for finished vehicles, flexibly accommodating shipping of a wide range of vehicle types and sizes (particularly large cars), improving loading efficiency, and promoting modal shift.^*3 We also request that our logistics partners minimize the environmental impact of their transport operations, taking actions such as practicing eco-conscious driving by installing digital tachographs^*4 and dash cams, as well as improving fuel efficiency by fitting aerodynamic panels and other devices.
As a result of expanded efforts for consolidated and standardized transportation routes, per unit CO₂ emissions from transportation of SUBARU vehicles in FYE March 2022 declined 20.7% from the FYE March 2007 level, against the target of a 14% reduction from the base year. We will continue with our efforts to pursue further reductions.

Fitted to a vehicle to automatically record its journey information, including driving time and speed, and store the information in the installed recording medium, such as a memory card. The device is employed broadly by industries involving the commercial operation of vehicles as a tool for driving management. As the system can present clear data of recorded events, including sudden acceleration and deceleration, fuel-wasting engine idling, and dangerous driving, it is expected to help drivers increase their awareness of safe driving and fuel economy.

Export Parts

Parts and Accessories

• Joint distribution initiative with Toyota Mobility Parts Co., Ltd.
  To resolve complexities and inefficiencies in parts of our transport system, we began joint distribution of maintenance parts with Toyota Mobility Parts Co., Ltd. in FYE March 2021. As of the end of FYE March 2022, we had started joint distribution to eight dealers (14 locations and sales partners in some regions). We aim to expand the regions covered going forward.
  By switching to joint distribution, we have in the case of some dealers achieved a reduction of lead time by one day and a cut in transport costs of approximately 25%.
  Taking this opportunity, we will reorganize the domestic supply system and establish a stable supply network for the medium to long term.
• Switch to forklift trucks with electric drive option
  The Accessory Center in Gunma is making a phased switch from liquefied petroleum gas (LPG)-operated forklift trucks to models that can be operated electrically. We will also equip the electric forklift trucks to make them available for use as storage batteries in the event of a disaster or power outage so that they can be used in times of emergency for instance to maintain telecommunications functions.

Distribution Center

Subaru of America, Inc.’s regional distribution center has participated in the Oregon Clean Fuel Program since 2020 and has begun switching to electric trucks. In addition, Subaru of America reduced CO₂ emissions by installing solar power generation equipment on the new building of the relocated regional distribution center.

Subaru of America, Inc.

The company is promoting the use of rail to reduce CO₂ emissions in the distribution process. By switching from truck to rail for transport from Oregon to Indiana and other destinations, it achieved a CO₂ emissions reduction of approximately 8,600 tons in 2021.

Sales

Dealers in Japan have switched to LED lighting and high-efficiency air-conditioning systems when replacing aging equipment. In addition, Tokyo Subaru Co., Ltd., Kanagawa Subaru Co., Ltd., and Chiba Subaru Inc. have reduced total CO₂ emissions by approximately 3,806 tons in FYE March 2022 by switching to purchases of carbon-neutral power.
We will continue to pivot to decoupling energy consumption and CO₂ emissions with initiatives to create environmentally responsible dealers that care about people.

Carbon Pricing

Emissions Trading Systems

As businesses operating in the jurisdictions of the Tokyo metropolitan and Saitama prefectural governments, our Tokyo Office and Saitama Logistics Center and Stellar Town Omiya are covered by the Tokyo Metropolitan Environmental Security Ordinance, which promotes greenhouse gas reduction and emissions trading for large businesses, and Saitama Prefecture’s regulation on target-based emissions trading from its Ordinance on the Promotion of Global Warming Countermeasures. Our business sites are responding through compliance with the relevant emissions trading systems.

Internal Carbon Pricing

SUBARU introduced internal carbon pricing in FYE March 2023. In the internal consultative plan on capital expenditures at business sites, the monetary value of the CO₂ reduction accompanying the introduction of the relevant facilities is set at 6,000 yen/ton. By accounting for CO₂ reduction impact in terms of its cost reduction impact, we ensure its inclusion as a factor in assessing capital expenditures. The introduction of internal carbon pricing, which comes under the category of shadow pricing, is intended not only to raise awareness of CO₂ reduction among facility managers but also to promote investment in facilities with a high CO₂ reduction impact.

External Partnerships

SUBARU is tackling the climate change challenge through partnerships with suppliers, customers, and industry groups.

Alliance with Toyota Motor Corporation

SUBARU and Toyota Motor Corporation (“Toyota”) have agreed to jointly develop EV platforms and vehicles applying SUBARU’s AWD technologies and Toyota’s electrification technologies. This agreement is designed to enable the two automakers to multiply their technical strengths with the goal of creating attractive EV products. As a dedicated BEV platform, they have jointly developed the e-SUBARU Global Platform.
