EcoBoost is a family of turbocharged, direct injected gasoline engines produced by the
Ford Motor Company and co-developed by FEV engineering.
Engines equipped with EcoBoost technology are designed to deliver power and torque consistent
with those of larger engine displacement, naturally aspirated engines while achieving
approximately 20% better fuel efficiency and 15% reduced greenhouse emissions than these
same engines. Relative to the power output and fuel efficiency of hybrid and diesel technologies,
Ford sees EcoBoost as an affordable and versatile alternative and intends to use it extensively
in future vehicle applications.
Production: Global Family EcoBoost petrol direct-injection turbocharged
engine technology adds 125 patents and patent applications to Ford's 4,618 active and thousands
of pending U.S. patents. The V6 EcoBoost engines are being assembled
at Cleveland Engine Plant No. 1 in Brook Park, Ohio. The 2.0 L I4 EcoBoost engines will
be produced at the Ford Valencia Engine Plant in Spain in 2009. The 1.6 L I4 EcoBoost engines
will be made at the Ford Bridgend Engine Plant in the United Kingdom. The future small displacement
I3 EcoBoost engine will be produced both at the Ford Cologne Engine Plant in Germany and
at Ford Romania. By 2012, the company plans to produce 750,000
EcoBoost units annually in the US and 1.3 million globally in the world market. Ford
expected over 90-percent of its global vehicle lineup to offer EcoBoost engine technology
by 2013. From the engine's beginning, to November 2012, 500,000 Ford Ecoboost vehicles have
been sold. Marketing: GTDi
Volvo used the term PTDi for the 1.6L I4 engine when introducing Volvo S60 Concept and for
the 2.0L I4 engine when introducing Volvo XC60.
EcoBoost I-3 1.0 L EcoBoost I-3
Ford currently produces a 1.0-litre turbocharged in-line three cylinder engine for the EcoBoost
family developed at Ford's Dunton Technical Centre in the UK. Production started in April
2012. The 1.0 comes initially in two versions: 74 kW and 88 to 92 kW. The more powerful
version delivers a maximum of 170 N·m from 1,400–4,500 rpm and 200 N·m on overboost,
which makes for a broad torque curve when compared to a naturally aspirated gasoline
engine . The engine block is cast iron instead of aluminum for up to 50% faster warm-up,
at the expense of additional weight. Due to natural vibrations of a 3-cylinder design,
the flywheel has been deliberately unbalanced to ensure smooth running, without the use
of energy sapping balance shafts. The engine also features an internal timing belt, bathed
in the engine oil, for long life and greater efficiency and reduced noise. The exhaust
manifold is cast into the cylinder head, reducing warm up times and therefore further aiding
efficiency. All this is packaged in an engine block the size of an A4 sheet of paper. With
the introduction of face lifted 2013 Ford Fiesta, Ford introduced naturally aspirated
version of 1.0 Fox engine. There are two versions producing 65 hp and 80 hp, both engines
uses Direct Injection and Ti-VCT like turbocharged versions, start-stop technology is also available.
The engines are produced in Cologne, Germany and Craiova, Romania with production to later
expand in Chongqing, China. Production is expected to be 700,000–1,500,000 units per
year. The engine is available in Ford Focus, the Ford Focus-based C-MAX and Grand C-MAX,
and the Fiesta-based B-Max. Ford has claimed it may be available in the future for the
North American markets. Ford has announced that the 1.0L Ecoboost
engine will be available for the American market starting with the all-new 2014 Ford
Fiesta Sedan and Hatchback. It was announced at the 2012 Los Angeles Auto Show, when the
2014 Fiesta was introduced. Applications

EcoBoost I-4 There are three EcoBoost I4 engines in production.
A 1.5L downsized version of the 1.6L, the 1.6L which replaces larger-displacement, naturally-aspirated
I4 engines in Ford vehicles, and a 2.0L which replaces small-displacement, naturally-aspirated
V6 engines. All three engines are turbocharged and direct injected. The production engine
family was officially announced at the 2009 Frankfurt Motor Show.
1.5 L EcoBoost I-4 A 1.5L version of the EcoBoost engine family
was first unveiled in the 2014 Ford Fusion as a downsized version of the 1.6L EcoBoost
engine. The downsized displacement is a result of Chinese vehicle tax regulations which tax
vehicles with engine displacements of 1.5L or less at lower rates. The 1.5L EcoBoost
adds new technology compared to the 1.6L on which it is based, including an integrated
exhaust manifold and a computer-controlled water pump clutch to decrease warm up time.
In the 2014 Fusion, the engine produces 181 hpand 185-lb ft .
The engine is produced at the Craiova Engine Plant in Craiova, Romania.
Applications 181 hp
2014- Ford Fusion 1.6 L EcoBoost I-4
A 1.6 L version was first unveiled in the 2009 Lincoln C Concept. The engine is rated
at 180 hp and 180 lb·ft. The European market version of the 1.6L provides
150 hp although a 160 hp version is used in the Ford Mondeo.
The 1.6L Ecoboost engine is raced in the British Formula Ford Championship. The units have
replaced the original N/A 1.6 Duratec units, which in turn replaced the 1.8L Zetec-engined
cars. The engine has also been used for the past couple of seasons in the WRC in the Ford
Fiesta. Ford has recalled certain Ford Escapes equipped
with this engine due to the potential for them to catch fire after overheating.
The 1.6L EcoBoost engine is produced at the Ford Bridgend Engine Plant in Bridgend, Wales.

The 2015 Ford F-150 has the option of a 2.7 liter Ecoboost engine. It is supposed to deliver
325 hp and 375 lb·ft. The engine is built at the Lima Ford Engine Plant. Ford has invested
half a billion dollars in the Lima plant for the new engine. Ford also states that the
new engine will bring 300 jobs to Allen County, however transfers from other plants make the
actual number hard to pin down. Applications

3.5 L EcoBoost V-6 The first Ford Vehicle to feature this engine
was the 2007 Lincoln MKR Concept under the name TwinForce. The engine was designed to
deliver power and torque output equivalent to a typical 6.0 L or larger displacement
V8 while achieving at least 15% better fuel efficiency and reduced greenhouse emissions.
In the MKR the concept TwinForce engine was rated 415 hp and 400 lb·ft of torque, as
well as run on E85 fuel. When the same prototype engine reappeared in the Lincoln MKT concept
in 2008 North American International Auto Show, the name was changed to EcoBoost. Official
EcoBoost production began on May 19, 2009 at Ford's Cleveland Engine Plant No. 1.
The production engines use the Duratec 35 V6 engine block. The fuel charging and delivery
systems can attain high fuel pressures of up to 2150 PSI, necessary for efficient operation
of the direct fuel injection system. It uses two BorgWarner turbochargers which can spin
at up to 170,000 rpm and provide 12 PSI of boost. The turbos are set up in a twin-turbo
configuration. The engine can consume up to 25% more air over the naturally aspirated
counterpart. Through the use of direct injection, the engine needs only regular-grade petrol
to run, though premium fuel is recommended. The EcoBoost V6 was first available as an
engine option for 2010 Lincoln MKS, followed by 2010 Ford Flex, 2010 Ford Taurus SHO, and
2010 Lincoln MKT. The fuel charging and delivery systems were co-developed with Robert Bosch
GmbH. In 2009 Ford modified an experimental 3.5
V6 EcoBoost engine with both E85 direct injection and petrol indirect fuel injection, which
achieved a BMEP of 395 psi, which translates to approximately 553 pound-feet of torque
and 316 horsepower@3000 rpm. Applications
