Ford Shows Off All New Eco Blue Diesel Engine

Ford says that the new engine assures better drivability with 20 per cent more torque being delivered at 1,250rpms compared to the older 2.-litre TDCi engines. This means the cars fitted with these engines will be easier to drive on traffic laden roads and other urban conditions. The fuel combustion is cleaner and also the friction inside has been greatly reduced. This results in a massive 55 per cent reduction in emissions compared Euro Stage V standards. Also, the fuel efficiency goes up by a significant 13 per cent.

Some of the other technological innovations include the use of a low-inertia turbocharger made from the same materials as used in rockets being much more resistant to higher temperatures than the previous engine. The fuel injection system is also new and promises precise fuel delivery. Also, modular crankshafts, a crank off-set by 10mm, a belt-in-oil design for the camshaft and oil pump drive belts and so on. The bottom line being that Ford believes the Eco Blue engines to be as competent and versatile as its 1.0-litre EcoBoost range of engines. Additionally, Ford has also taken several steps to keep the NVH in check such as using foam encapsulation on cylinder heads, advanced fuel injectors and a noise deadening software as well.
