Ford to Add 3 More Ecoboost Engines

Ford will add 3 more Ecoboost fuel-saving engines to its line-up by 2013:

• Ford to launch three more EcoBoost™ engines by the end of 2010
• The company remains on track to equip as much as 90 percent of its North American nameplates with EcoBoost, which would deliver worldwide sales of about 1.5 million units – 200,000 more than earlier estimates
• By 2014, nearly 20 percent of Ford’s global vehicle nameplates will be available with a fuel-saving stop/start system

The next three EcoBoost engines include:


1.6-liter four-cylinder that will be offered in the European C-Max people mover.
The 1.6-liter EcoBoost will deliver quick acceleration and class-leading fuel economy.
2.0-liter four-cylinder for the next-generation Ford Explorer SUV and Edge CUV.

This new engine will deliver best-in-class fuel economy and V-6 performance.

3.5-liter V-6 for the F-150. Ford engineers have upgraded the 3.5-liter V-6 for rear-wheel-drive applications. The EcoBoost F-150 is expected to deliver best-in-class fuel economy along with the power and towing capability of a V-8.
