The history of this company which later founded Subaru started in 1917. By the way the name Subaru appeared thanks to the president if FHI Kenji Kita. He was sure that a Japanese car must have Japanese name. He created a special competition where a lot of names for the future brand were presented. However none of them was appreciated and he thought of the name himself. So it came for Subaru. It means “unite everyone”.

After exhausting Second World War when the industry of auto production had a lack of fuel and materials, Japanese government established a law according to which people didn't have to pay any taxes for the cars which were not longer than 360 cm and fuel consumption less than 3.4 l per 100 km. Subaru 360 was the first auto which responded all these demands. It was only 3 m length and had a two-cylinder engine with 16 HP. In addition it had a modern design. Construction of the car was made using such materials as plastic and aluminum. It was a successful experience for the company and helped to get leading positions in the field of auto production.
