Ford’s New 1.0-Liter EcoBoost Engine Piles On More Awards

Ford Motor Company’s innovative 1.0-liter three-cylinder EcoBoost® engine has been honored with a Breakthrough Award from Popular Mechanics magazine.

Each year the magazine selects the 10 technology products that matter most.

Earlier this year the 1.0-liter EcoBoost engine was named “International Engine of the Year” by a jury of 76 journalists from 35 countries. The 1.0-liter engine Ecoboost is currently available in Europe in the Ford Focus, C-Max, and B-MAX models.

EcoBoost combines turbocharging, direct fuel injection and variable valve timing on both intake and exhaust to deliver the power of a larger engine with the fuel efficiency of a smaller unit.

“We placed the bar incredibly high when we set out to design this engine,” said Joe Bakaj, Ford vice president, Global Powertrain. “We wanted to deliver eye-popping fuel economy, surprising performance, quietness and refinement – and all from a very small three-cylinder engine.”

“The team responded to this seemingly impossible challenge with some really exciting innovation,” added Bakaj. “We are thrilled Popular Mechanics has recognized the 1.0-liter EcoBoost engine for a Breakthrough Award.”
