Ford wins second straight International Engine of the Year Award with their 1.0-litre petrol Ecoboost and announces increased production.
Ford's tiny engine utilitises direct fuel injection, turbocharging and variable valve timing to lower fuel consumption without sacrificing power.
A panel of 87 automotive journalist from 35 countries considered things such as drivability, performance, economy, refinement and awarded Ford with not only the second successive award for the engine but also the highest score in the 15 year history of the awards.
Production is planned to double at the German factory in Cologne to meet demand as the engine is launched in India, China, North America and Australia. The award-winning engine is also built in Craiova, Romania.
In Europe the Ecoboost engine is available in Fiesta, Focus, B-Max as well as C-Max models. Ford Australia has confirmed the 1.0-litre EcoBoost engine for the facelifted Fiesta and all-new EcoSport, both of which arrive in Australia later this year.
