    Ford 1.0-litre EcoBoost is Engine of the Year 2014

    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.
