In one important aspect, Ford has been dominating the market against other manufacturers, both from the U.S. and abroad. And if you’ve seen a new Ford Fusion in Lawrenceburg, you might think it’s for the outstanding styling cues in the most recent generation of Ford vehicles. But the fact is that car makers the world over have been looking on enviously at the fuel efficiency of Ford vehicles, and the secret to their success has been in the design behind the EcoBoost line of motors.
Ford has searched far and wide to find the best and brightest minds from a variety of fields to help with the design of their award-winning motors. The ranks of researchers and developers behind the EcoBoost engine line include professionals from fields as diverse as particle physics, laser-guided weapons defense systems, and Space Shuttle launch safety. And the wealth of insight and ingenuity from these minds is combined to create the software needed to achieve the fuel economy in the EcoBoost vehicles available at your local Ford dealership.
The product that these minds have combined to make is a line of smaller engines with power output and torque capacity equivalent to much larger motors. The smaller size helps the car achieve better mileage per gallon of fuel in most driving situations, but still have the utility and gusto when it counts. While mechanical adaptations like turbocharging and direct injection contribute to this result, the secret has been in highly developed software that underlies the EcoBoost engine architecture.
The engineers employed by Ford have been working for years on the technology to achieve better fuel economy from powerful engines, and their work has been successful enough to earn their group several patents for engine management technology. Take a look at a new Ford to experience the results for yourself.
