VCFD Copter 9 - Subaru Bell 412 EPX at HAI Heli Expo 2024
In September 2015, SUBARU announced to co-develop an advanced variant of the Bell 412EPI with Bell Textron Inc. as FUJI-BELL 412+ (*now SUBARU BELL 412EPX), and to constitute this aircraft as a platform for the new utility helicopter for the JGSDF.
SUBARU has been acting as a Customer Service Facility for legacy fleets of Bell Textron Inc., servicing helicopters such as the Bell 205B and Bell 412EP. They have been assembling, repairing and customizing Bell helicopters for the Japan Coast Guard, Japan National Police Agency and government offices. SUBARU’s support is a key contributor to their daily operations.
