EcoBoost: Go Farther. Use Less. Save More.
Compared with more expensive hybrid and diesel engines, Ford EcoBoost technology will affordably provide the power and torque that customers crave from their vehicles, while delivering the improved fuel efficiency and reduction in tailpipe emissions that they demand.
EcoBoost builds upon today’s affordable gasoline engine with the addition of proven mechanical enhancements. EcoBoost’s more efficient use of fuel means increased performance yet fewer trips to the gas pump. EcoBoost provides:
- Up to 20 percent improvement in fuel economy.
- Up to 15 percent reduction in CO2 emissions.
- Improved engine performance.
Plus, EcoBoost is easy on the wallet. Customers in North America purchasing a vehicle featuring an EcoBoost 4-cylinder engine can expect to recoup their initial investment within two and a half years through savings in fuel costs. Drivers of diesel-powered vehicles in North America need seven and a half years to recoup their investment. Hybrid owners need nearly 12 years when all options are equalized for miles driven per year and fuel costs.
EcoBoost engines – while featuring advanced technology – still run on regular grade gasoline (87 octane). Their real-world fuel economy benefit is consistent no matter the drive cycle, meaning the engine is efficient in the city as well as on the highway.
