What is EcoBoost?

Cambo, Thursday January 3, 2008.

Page 1 of 1

EcoBoost is Ford Motor Company’s new high-volume, affordable engine technology slated for a range of global vehicles – from small cars to large trucks.

EcoBoost uses turbocharged petrol direct-injection technology for up to 20 percent better fuel economy, 15 percent fewer CO2 emissions and superior driving performance versus larger displacement engines.

Direct Injection

Highly pressurized fuel is injected directly into the combustion chamber of each cylinder rather than traditional mixing with the incoming air in the inlet port. Advantages include: more precise delivery of fuel for lower emissions, improved volumetric efficiency and avoidance of knock for better performance and fuel efficiency.

EcoBoost Direct Injection

Turbocharged

Energy from the engine’s exhaust, that would otherwise be wasted, is utilized to rotate a turbine wheel. The turbine is coupled to a compressor which pressurizes the incoming air, significantly increasing the output per litre of the engine. The traditional disadvantages of “boosting,” turbo lag and knock, are mitigated by the synergy with direct injection.

Smaller Engine Block
With both factors in the equation, the EcoBoost 6-cylinder engine can produce like an 8; a 4, like a 6. In addition, the 6-speed transmission (available on Ford Edge, and first-in-class for Fusion, Taurus and Taurus X) offers smoother acceleration and better economy. Go farther. Use less.

EcoBoost Smaller Block

The new technology will be available in half a million Ford, Lincoln and Mercury vehicles annually in North America during the next five years – beginning with the new Lincoln MKS sedan in 2009.

The Ford Explorer America concept vehicle at the North American International Auto Show showcases EcoBoost combined with other sustainability actions; together, they deliver a 20-30 percent increase in fuel economy, depending on engine selection, versus today’s mid-size utilities.
