What Does Ford EcoBoost® Mean?
EcoBoost® is the name of Ford’s line of turbocharged, direct-injection petrol engines that are designed to deliver greater horsepower and torque while also providing greater fuel efficiency. First produced in 2009, EcoBoost® engines now come in many varieties and power a diverse selection of Ford vehicles. EcoBoost® engines range from 1.0 liters to 3.5 liters.
How Do Ford EcoBoost® Engines Work?
EcoBoost® engines are able to provide such impressive power and efficiency metrics because they are turbocharged and use direct injection. Turbocharged engines force in more air than a normal engine would receive, improving power output without increasing the size of the engine. Direct injection cuts out the intact tract portion of the fuel injection process, which improves efficiency.
