In India, the 1.0 EcoBoost powers the top petrol Titanium EcoBoost and Titanium (O) EcoBoost variants of the Ford EcoSport.
Ford’s 1.0-litre EcoBoost engine has been voted the 2014 International
Engine of the Year, winning the award for the third consecutive year. A
panel of 82 automotive journalists from 35 countries also named the
engine ‘Best Engine Under 1.0-litre’ again for the third year in a row,
at the Engine Expo 2014 in Stuttgart, Germany.
“To deliver the complete package of eye-popping fuel economy,
surprising performance and real refinement, we knew this little
1.0-litre engine would have to be a game-changer,” said Bob Fascetti,
VP, Ford Powertrain Engineering. “Through our One Ford approach to
development, the EcoBoost continues to set the benchmark for power
combined with fuel efficiency from a petrol engine.”
Ford vehicles equipped with the 1.0-litre EcoBoost engine are globally
available in 72 countries. In India, it powers the top Titanium EcoBoost
and Titanium (O) EcoBoost petrol variants of the Ford EcoSport.
The engine’s compact turbocharger spins at almost twice the maximum rpm
of turbochargers powering 2014 Formula 1 race car engines. An
innovative design delivers improved refinement as compared to
traditional three-cylinder engines. The 1.0-litre also boasts reduced
engine friction and improved fuel efficiency.
