Subaru and its co-development partner Bell, a Textron Inc. Company, USA displays the latest commercial helicopter Subaru  Bell 412EPX for its first time in Asia. Singapore Airshow is the largest international airshow held every two years for the rapid growing Asian market and this is Subaru’s first participation to this event.

The Subaru Bell 412EPX will benefit from proprietary laser peening technology applied to enhance main rotor gearbox, a robust main rotor gearbox dry run capability, increased internal Maximum Gross Weight and improved mast torque output to provide operators the ability to transport more supplies and achieve better operational efficiency. The 412EPX is the latest commercial variant of the Bell 412 helicopter, incorporating new technologies developed by Subaru. In June 2019, the Japan National Police Agency (JPNA) placed the first order for the Subaru Bell 412EPX medium-twin helicopter.
