First introduced in Europe in 2010, EcoBoost-equipped vehicles last year accounted for one in four new Ford vehicles sold in the region. The most popular was the 1.0-litre EcoBoost, which in 2014 also was the first engine to be named as International Engine of the Year for three times in a row.More than 230,000 Ford vehicles sold in Europe were equipped with the 1.0-litre engine that is now available in 10 different models – from Fiesta to the all-new Mondeo.‘Ford EcoBoost delivers great performance with lower fuel bills, a recipe which is proving incredibly popular with consumers in Europe and around the world,’ said Joe Bakaj, vice president, Product Development, Ford of Europe. ‘EcoBoost engines have proved a game changing technology that are attracting new customers to the Ford brand every day.’The 5-millionth vehicle was a 1.0-litre Ford Focus that rolled off the assembly line at the Michigan Assembly Plant, in the United States. Worldwide, every month, more than 200,000 EcoBoost engines are produced – including 1.5-litre, 1.6-litre, 2.0-litre and 2.3-litre four-cylinder engines, and 2.7-litre and 3.5-litre V6 engines. The Ford Bridgend plant in Wales in the UK produces 1.5- and 1.6-litre EcoBoost engines.
