Ford stocks EcoBoosted
Fuel-saving technology will account for 80 per cent of passenger car range before the end of 2015EcoBoost induction is set to be available in nearly 80 per cent of Ford's passenger car range by year's end, 2015.
The turbocharged/direction-injection concept, which shares much with Mazda's SKYACTIV theme, will be a key element of Ford's renewed sales push, led by new Mustang, Mondeo and upgraded Kuga. Most of Ford's local range already offer EcoBoost engine options, including the locally-built Falcon. Ford claims that EcoBoost delivers fuel use reduction in the vicinity of 20 per cent, when measured against larger, naturally-aspirated engines producing similar levels of performance.
"Ford EcoBoost delivers outstanding performance and great economy, a recipe that is proving incredibly popular with our customers," said Ford Australia Vice President of Marketing, Sales and Service, Graeme Whickman.
"EcoBoost technology is at the cutting edge of engine downsizing and the 1.0-litre EcoBoost winning International Engine of the Year in 2012, 2013 and 2014 is a clear proof point of that."
The 1.0-litre triple (pictured) beat high efficiency engines from Volkswagen and Mercedes-AMG to win top spot in the International Engine of the Year. Andrew Fraser, Ford's Calibration Development Manager, told motoring.com.au two years ago that the three-cylinder is at the forefront of production-ready engine technology.
