EcoBoost is Ford’s name for its own setup of turbocharging and direct injection in its family of gasoline-fueled engines. Although the individual components make an engine more expensive, Ford claims that EcoBoost is less expensive than diesel engines or hybrid equipped cars.

Ford intends to use the idea in a full range of engines from V-6 to inline four cylinders, V-8s are are not included because an EcoBoosted V-6 engine will provide the same performance as a V-8.

The first engine in the EcoBoost series was the V6. The engine first appeared in the 2007 Lincoln MKR under the name TwinForce. The engine was designed to produce the same amount of power and torque output as a conventional 6.0 L V8, weighing less and producing about 15% better fuel efficiency and reduced emissions compared to the V8 engine.

Ford has released two different four cylinder engines equipped with EcoBoost technology. Both engines are turbocharged with direct fuel injection. Ford will produce a new 2.0-litre and small-displacement version of Ford’s EcoBoost advanced gas engine in Ford Cologne Engine Plant in America
