In 2007, Ford began integrating its EcoBoost technology into new vehicles. Since then, Ford has continued to improve the EcoBoost technology, thereby significantly decreasing the amount of harmful Carbon Dioxide (CO2) emissions into the atmosphere. Along with the new developments in the EcoBoost technology, Ford is making this technology available to the masses. By 2011, Ford made the EcoBoost engines available in almost every Ford vehicle, making it possible for a fuel efficient and environmentally conscious vehicle to be purchased on any budget.
Ford is still looking towards the future. During the upcoming decade, Ford will continue to leverage the hybrid technologies and the deployment of alternative energy sources. Ford has also set goals to continue developing models of internal-combustion engines that are dependent only on renewable fuels, so we can be free of our dependency on oil and work towards a cleaner, healthier planet.
EcoBoost is not only being recognized by consumers (with increased purchase rates in demographics that have not previously been known for purchasing Ford vehicles), but the EcoBoost is making waves with names like Popular Mechanics (listed as a “breakthrough” in engineering and green technology), and also Ward’s (given one of their 10 Best Engines” awards).
The EcoBoost is now available in the 2.0L I4 and the 3.5L V6, offering different power-train capacity for all Ford models. The EcoBoost is available in everything from the F-Series trucks (including the Ranger and the Super Duty), and also in the compact, already fuel efficient Ford models (like the Ford Fiesta – already capable of reaching 40mpg’s). With so many options and so many models, there is a Ford EcoBoost for every driver on the road.
