A major part of Ford’s near-term environmental plan is a new engine technology called EcoBoost. It will deliver up to 20 percent better fuel economy on half a million Ford, Lincoln and Mercury vehicles annually in North America during the next five years. The EcoBoost family of 4-cylinder and 6-cylinder engines features turbocharging and direct injection technology.
Compared with more expensive hybrids and diesel engines, EcoBoost builds upon today’s affordable gasoline engine and improves it, providing more customers with a way to improve fuel economy and emissions without compromising driving performance.
Ford will start introducing EcoBoost engine technology in 2009. During the next five years, the technology will migrate to half a million Ford, Lincoln and Mercury vehicles annually in North America alone.
The affordable engine technology – which delivers up to 20 percent better fuel economy, 15 percent fewer CO2 emissions and superior driving performance versus larger displacement engines – is slated for a range of Ford’s global vehicles, from small cars to large trucks.
In addition to environmental actions like EcoBoost, Ford is planning to introduce additional hybrid vehicles and diesel engines for light-duty vehicles in the near term, as well. Longer term, Ford plans to remain aggressive in developing plug-in hybrids, as well as hydrogen fuel cell-powered and biofuel-capable vehicles.
In 2009, Ford first will introduce the EcoBoost technology on the Lincoln MKS featuring a 3.5-liter twin-turbocharged V-6 engine. It will produce the power and torque of a V-8 engine yet deliver the fuel efficiency of a V-6.
With an estimated 340-horsepower and more than 340 lb.-ft. of torque, the Lincoln MKS with EcoBoost is expected to be the most powerful and fuel-efficient all-wheel-drive luxury sedan in the market.
EcoBoost engines will be introduced in the Ford Flex and other vehicles later in 2009.

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:
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.

EcoBoost features two proven technologies – gasoline direct injection and turbocharging – installed on a “downsized” engine, such as a V-6 instead of a V-8. Versus that larger engine, EcoBoost delivers increased fuel economy, less CO2 emissions and better performance.
Here’s how each technology works:
DIRECT INJECTION: Highly pressurized fuel is injected directly into the combustion chamber of each cylinder, rather than the traditional process of mixing it with the incoming air in the intake port. This offers a more precise delivery of fuel, delivering lower emissions and better fuel economy from the higher compression of a more efficient combustion process.
TURBOCHARGING: Energy from the engine’s exhaust, which would otherwise be wasted, is captured and put to work rotating a turbine wheel. The turbine powers a compressor that pressurizes air entering the intake. This significantly increases the amount of air to mix with the fuel, thus increasing the engine’s output, especially by providing higher low-end torque.
6 = 8 / 4 = 6: The EcoBoost 6-cylinder engine can produce the power of a V-8, and a 4-cylinder can produce like a 6. When combined with Ford’s advanced new 6-speed transmissions, electric power-assisted steering, material weight reductions and aerodynamic improvements, EcoBoost affordably will provide consumers with enhanced performance and better fuel economy no matter where they drive – city or highway.

To help explain its vehicle sustainability strategy, Ford has created the Explorer America concept for the 2008 North American International Auto Show. The Explorer America concept delivers an approximately 20 to 30 percent fuel-economy improvement – depending on engine selection – while providing room for six and their gear, along with moderate towing and off-roading capabilities.
This smarter utility concept demonstrates:

Ford Motor Company is committed to addressing the world's global warming and energy security challenges with a comprehensive strategy to accelerate and expand the use of advanced technologies across its entire product line in high volumes.
Ford's plan includes near-term, mid-term, and long-term technology implementation that benefits millions of customers without compromising their expectations for quality, safety and fuel economy. Ford begins its migration to advanced technology this year through 2012, fully implements known technology by 2020, and beyond that, Ford will be engaged in volume rollout of hybrid technologies and alternative energy sources.
Near term (2008 through 2012)
