LITRE ECOBOOST WINS
INTERNATIONAL ENGINE OF THE
YEAR FOR UNPRECEDENTED THIRD
STRAIGHT YEAR
 Ford 1.0-litre EcoBoost engine is 2014 International Engine of the Year; an
unprecedented third consecutive victory
 Fuel-efficient and powerful 1.0-litre EcoBoost – which powers Fiesta and nine other
vehicles in the Ford UK range – also “Best Engine Under 1.0-litre” for the third year in a
row
 Judges praise the 1.0-litre EcoBoost engine as “one of the finest examples of powertrain
engineering” as it finishes ahead of entries from premium and supercar brands
 New 140PS Fiesta Red Edition and Fiesta Black Edition models are the most powerful
ever 1.0-litre road cars
 Turbocharger spins at almost twice the rpm of the turbines used on F1 race car engines –
more than 4,000 times per second

STUTTGART, Germany, June 25, 2014 – A small petrol engine that powers Ford cars
including the new Fiesta has fought off competition from premium brands and supercars to win
the ‘Oscars’ of the engine world for an unprecedented third time in a row.

Ford Motor Company’s 1.0-litre EcoBoost engine – which lowers fuel consumption without
sacrificing power – today was named 2014 International Engine of the Year for its drivability,
performance, economy, refinement and technology.

A panel of 82 automotive journalists from 35 countries also named the 1.0-litre EcoBoost the
“Best Engine Under 1.0-litre” for the third year in a row at the Engine Expo 2014, in Stuttgart.

“To deliver the complete package of eye-popping fuel economy, surprising performance,
quietness and refinement we knew this little 1.0-litre engine would have to be a game changer,”
said Bob Fascetti, vice president, Ford Powertrain Engineering. “Through our One Ford
approach to development, EcoBoost continues to set the benchmark for power combined with
fuel efficiency from a small petrol engine.”

The engine has now won 13 major awards. In addition to collecting seven International Engine
of the Year awards in three years – including Best New Engine in 2012 – the 1.0-litre EcoBoost
also has been awarded the International Paul Pietsch Award 2013for technological innovation in
Germany; the Dewar Trophy from the Royal Automobile Club in Great Britain; and in the U.S.,
the Breakthrough Award from Popular Mechanics magazine. Ford also is the first automaker to
win a Ward’s 10 Best Engines trophy for a three-cylinder engine.
“This year’s competition was the fiercest yet, but the 1.0-litre EcoBoost continues to stand out
for all the right reasons – great refinement, surprising flexibility and excellent efficiency,” said
Dean Slavnich, co-chairman of the 16th International Engine of the Year awards and editor of
Engine Technology International magazine. “The 1.0-litre EcoBoost engine is one of the finest
examples of powertrain engineering.”

March of the 1.0-litre EcoBoost

Launched in Europe in 2012 with the Ford Focus, the 1.0-litre EcoBoost is now available in the
UK in a further nine vehicles: Fiesta, B-MAX, EcoSport, C-MAX and Grand C-MAX, Tourneo
Connect, Grand Tourneo Connect, Transit Connect and Transit Courier.

The all-new Mondeo will continue the roll-out of the 1.0-litre EcoBoost engine when it launches
later this year; the smallest engine to be specified in such a large family car.

Already available with 100PS and 125PS, Ford recently debuted a new 140PS version of the
engine in the new Fiesta Red Edition and Fiesta Black Edition models; the most powerful
volume production 1.0-litre road cars ever, achieving 0-62 mph in 9 seconds, a top speed of
125mph and delivering 62.8 mpg and 104 g/km CO2*.

“Three years have gone and many new three-cylinder engines have appeared, but the Ford 1.0-
litre EcoBoost is still the best,” said Massimo Nascimbene, juror and writer, Italy.

Global power

Ford vehicles equipped with the 1.0-litre EcoBoost engine are now available in 72 countries
worldwide. Customers in the U.S. will later this year be able to buy the new Focus 1.0-litre
EcoBoost, with the Fiesta 1.0-litre EcoBoost in dealerships now.

Ford recently began production of the 1.0-litre EcoBoost in Chongqing, China, supporting
demand in Asia Pacific. For the first quarter of 2014 more than a third of new Fiesta buyers in
Vietnam chose the 1.0-litre EcoBoost engine.

“The success of the 1.0-litre EcoBoost engine has simply snowballed. Since launch we have now
extended availability through the range of Ford vehicles and through markets worldwide to set a
new global benchmark in powertrain engineering that delivers a direct benefit to customers –
both in terms of fuel efficiency and performance,” said Barb Samardzich, chief operating officer,
Ford of Europe.

Innovative engineering

The engine’s compact, low-inertia turbocharger spins at up to 248,000rpm – more than 4,000
times per second and almost twice the maximum rpm of the turbochargers boosting 2014 F1 race
car engines.
The 140PS 1.0-litre EcoBoost engine’s turbocharger delivers 1.6 bar (24psi) of boost pressure.
Peak firing pressure of 124 bar (1,800psi) equates to a five-tonne African elephant standing on
the piston.

With a cast iron engine block small enough to fit in the overhead luggage compartment of an
aeroplane, the engine also features an aluminium cylinder head with an integrated exhaust
manifold that lowers exhaust temperatures for optimised the fuel-to-air ratio. An innovative
flywheel and front pulley design delivers improved refinement compared with traditional three-
cylinder engine designs.

Engine friction is reduced by specially coated pistons, low tension piston rings, low friction
crank seals and a cam-belt-in-oil design. A variable displacement oil pump tailors lubrication to
demand and optimises oil pressure, for improved fuel efficiency.

“The 1.0-litre EcoBoost was created as a radical smaller-displacement engine to meet the
biggest automotive challenge in the world – no compromise refinement, performance and great
fuel economy,” said Andrew Fraser, manager, Gasoline Calibration, Ford of Europe. “The secret
to EcoBoost success is a range of innovative technologies that deliver big car benefits from a
small engine.”

* The declared fuel consumption and CO2 emissions are measured according to the technical
requirements and specifications of the European Regulations (EC) 715/2007 and (EC) 692/2008
as last amended. Fuel consumption and CO2 emissions are specified for a vehicle variant and not
for a single car. The applied standard test procedure enables comparison between different
vehicle types and different manufacturers. In addition to the fuel efficiency of a car, driving
behaviour as well as other non-technical factors play a role in determining a car's fuel
consumption and CO2 emissions. CO2 is the main greenhouse gas responsible for global
warming. Results in MPG also correspond to this European drive cycle and are stated in imperial
gallons. The results may differ from fuel economy figures in other regions of the world due to
the different drive cycles and regulations used in those markets.

** Figures are based on 20 European countries: Austria, Belgium, Britain, Czech Republic,
Denmark, Finland, France, Germany, Greece, Hungary, Ireland, Italy, Netherlands, Norway,
Poland, Portugal, Romania, Spain, Sweden and Switzerland
