In July 2015 the Bell/Fuji team was selected against the Airbus/Kawasaki and AgustaWestland/Mitsui options to develop the new UH-X transport helicopter intended to replace 150 UH-1J Hueys from 2021.
Based on the Bell 412EPi the new type is called Bell 412EPX and will be assembled by Subaru (formely known as Fuji). A commercial prototype was built at Bell's facility in Mirabel, Canada. FAA certification was achieved on July 5, 2018.
The Subaru/Bell 412EPX has a more robust main rotor gearbox dry run capability, increased internal Maximum Gross Weight to 12200 lbs / 5500 kg and mast torque output of +11% at speeds below 60 knots.
A commercial variant is planned to become available to customers globally through Subaru and Bell in the future.
In 2019 the UH-X was designated as UH-2
