The engines feature direct petrol injection, turbocharging and twin variable valve timing to maximise combustion efficiency, resulting in fuel consumption and CO2 emissions reduced by up to 20% compared to conventional petrol engines with a similar power output.
?The new family of Ford EcoBoost four-cylinder petrol engines coming in 2010 is a key element of Ford Motor Company's global Blueprint for Sustainability,? said John Fleming, chairman and CEO, Ford of Europe.
?We believe that these engines will provide customers with a genuinely attractive alternative to diesel or hybrid power units, delivering highly competitive fuel economy and cost-of-ownership, along with the responsive performance and wide rev range which have made petrol engines the favoured choice for so many drivers,? Fleming added.
The initial range of 4-cylinder Ford EcoBoost engines for the company's European product range will launch in 2010 and use the SCTi (sequential charge turbo injection) nomenclature for production models. The line-up will comprise 1.6-litre units for the all-new Ford C-MAX and 2.0-litre units for the company's large car range.
An additional advanced, small-capacity Ford EcoBoost engine will be introduced later to expand the range of applications within Ford?s small and medium car line-up.
In addition, Ford has confirmed that its new 2.0-litre Ford EcoBoost engine will be available globally, launching in North America in 2010 and for its first rear-wheel drive application in the Ford Falcon in Australia from 2011.
