Ford - Engine - EcoBoost Family

Prior Blog Posts by Date

This is a subset of Ford Motor Corporation topics, pertaining solely to the engines known by the marketing term "EcoBoost". This marketing grouping consists of otherwise unrelated 4 and 6 cylinder engines. They share variable valve timing, direct injection, and turbocharging technologies - all to the the point of providing economy, emissions, and performance from less displacement and cylinders. The family was originally known as "TwinForce".

 The other Ford EcoBoost: 1.6 liter 4 cylinder
 

Automotive News (April 28, 2008) reports that Ford has developed a new 1.6 liter DOHC 4-cylinder direct-injected and turbocharged engine branded as EcoBoost in Europe.  This is the third use of the EcoBoost brand so far, after the 2 liter and 3.5 liter EcoBoost engines in North America. Ford's Bridgend plant in Southern Wales will build the engine and it will be used in the Focus, Mondeo, S-Max, and Fiesta models in Europe. The new engine is aimed at offering a more economical and cleaner (particularly CO2) alternative to the larger 2 and 2.3 liter engines currently offered.

Ford of Europe will also export up to 300,000 of these engines to the United States by the end of 2009 for an unspecified model. We know that the Fiesta and Focus European models are coming to North America after that timeframe so this is likely, along with the eventual Fusion or Fusion replacement.
