This partnership highlights a mutual focus on technology advancement and sustained growth in automotive.
FPT Corporation’s automotive subsidiary FPT Automotive and Subaru Corporation Japan recently renewed their two-year Basic Contract at the corporate level. Expanding on the 2024 agreement originally signed with Subaru’s IT department, this enhanced partnership reflects a shared commitment to technological innovation and long-term growth in the automotive industry.
The agreement introduces new initiatives designed to foster collaboration and accelerate advancements in automotive technology. Both companies will expand their exchange of expertise, focusing on areas such as software-defined vehicles, autonomous driving, and next-generation safety systems. Combining Subaru’s legacy of automotive excellence with FPT’s expertise in digital transformation and software development, the partnership aims to pioneer industry-leading innovations and accelerate developments in smart, connected mobility.
FPT and Subaru will engage in an Expert Exchange Program, with FPT’s technical experts sent to Subaru’s car plants in Gunma, Japan for hands-on training and workshops hosted in Vietnam. These activities will align FPT engineers with Subaru’s technical standards, ensuring enhanced efficiency and service quality and fostering stronger integration between their teams in Japan and Vietnam.
FPT’s collaboration with Subaru further reinforces its role as a key digital transformation partner in the automotive sector while expanding its presence in Japan. Leveraging its two decades of expertise in automotive technology and a global network of 4,000 automotive software engineers, in 2023, FPT launched an automotive technology subsidiary, FPT Automotive, to address the increasing global demand for software-defined vehicles. The company’s strong presence in Japan is also expected to contribute greatly to this partnership, with FPT being among the largest foreign-invested technology enterprises in Japan, with over 4,000 employees working across 17 offices and innovation hubs and 15,000 offshore professionals dedicated to this market.
