What is EcoBoost and how does it work?

EcoBoost is Fords innovative and efficient engine downsizing strategy. Three critical technologies are in every
EcoBoost engine Turbocharging, Direct Injection, and Variable Valve Timing but its the unique Ford
software control algorithms that make them work together for the best result: An exhilarating drive and
class-leading Fuel Economy.

EcoBoost 1.0L An EcoBoost offers the power of a V8 engine with the Fuel Economy
of a V6 engine, the power of a V6 with the Fuel Economy of an I4
engine, the power of an I4 with the Fuel Economy of an I3 engine

Turbocharged engines are not unique to Ford, but EcoBoost is. The proof? Fords 1.0L EcoBoost engine has
won International Engine of the Year three times in a row.
