Subaru identified truck driver shortages and transport capacity constraints as some of the biggest challenges facing automotive logistics in Japan, and hopes that through its partnership with Ogaki-based Seino Transportation it can overcome these issues and optimise operations.
Upon establishing their partnership, the first priority for the two companies was to consolidate the long-distance transportation of automotive parts for EVs manufactured at Subaru’s Gunma Yajima Plant. Subaru began production of the Trailseeker model (marketed in Europe as the E-Outback) at this plant in February 2026.
