The EcoBoost engine combines advanced direct injection technology and turbocharging with a gasoline engine. The end result is an engine that can deliver up to 20 percent better fuel economy, 15 percent lower CO2 emissions, and improved driving performance when compared to larger displacement engines. .
Direct injection, coupled with turbocharging, allows for the downsizing of engines that deliver improved torque and performance. Fuel is injected into each cylinder of the engine in small, precise amounts. Compared to conventional port injection, direct injection produces a cooler, denser charge, delivering higher fuel economy and performance. A 4-cylinder EcoBoost engine has the capability of producing more torque than a larger 6-cylinder engine - nearly an entire liter larger in displacement - with up to 20 percent better fuel efficiency.
