Subaru Adds Gear Reduction to Overhead Cam Engines
LAS VEGAS (Feb. 2, 2016) – Subaru Industrial Power Products announces the addition of
2:1 and 6:1 gear reduction technology to its line of overhead cam engines — an industry first.
Subaru added the gear reduction to meet growing customer demands for Subaru power in a
broadening range of applications, allowing rental centers and contractors to standardize with
Subaru and have a single point of contact for parts and service. Subaru’s small engines can now
be matched with full product lines within the lawn-and-garden, recreational and concrete
construction industries.
“Customers are asking for Subaru more and more, because our engines offer the most
technologically advanced design, the lowest total cost of ownership and are backed by the
industry’s best warranty. Gear reduction allows us to answer those demands and to become the
primary engine supplier across the board for small engine powered applications,” said David
Frank, Subaru vice president of sales and marketing. “Rental centers, dealers and even end users
appreciate the simplicity and related time savings that come with having only one type of engine
to maintain and a single source for replacement parts.”
The 2:1 gear reduction opens up new applications in go-karts and sod cutters, while the 6:1 gear
reduction provides additional power opportunities in turf rakes, overseeders and aerators as well
as concrete mixers and buggies. Subaru sees opportunities to diversify even further into other
applications that benefit from gear reduction.
Subaru was the first manufacturer to utilize high performance chain-driven overhead cam
technology in the industrial air-cooled market. OHC technology benefits users with more power,
easier starting and quieter operation than same-class competitive engines.
Adding gear reduction to OHC engines is just the latest in a long line of innovations Subaru has
offered to its customers. Subaru will start releasing gear reduction technology on its EX and SP
series engines in April.
