The 1.5-litre engine is key for Ford, as the company works to meet the strong global demand for its four-cylinder EcoBoost engines.
Production of the four-cylinder 1.5-litre EcoBoost will begin initially at Ford's facility in Craiova, Romania, later this month.
With the launch of the newest fuel efficient engine, Ford now has capacity to build 1.6 million EcoBoost engines annually through the end of six plants across Europe, Asia and North America by the end of the year.
The 1.5-litre engine benefits from signature EcoBoost turbocharging, direct fuel injection and variable valve timing and has been designed to be even more fuel efficient and offer high levels of engine refinement, quietness and performance.
As a key contributor to Ford's aggressive fuel economy and emissions strategy, EcoBoost technologies enable improvements to both fuel efficiency and CO2 emissions of up to 20 percent.
The new engine will provide performance levels akin to Ford's current 1.6-litre EcoBoost, while delivering improved fuel economy and lower CO2 emissions. The 1.5-litre EcoBoost engine is the first engine from Ford to incorporate a computer-controlled clutch on the belt-drive water pump - for better efficiency by reducing warmup time.
