Ford EcoBoost® Police Interceptor Vehicle Dominates Competitors

WESTLAND, Mich - For the third year in a row, Los Angeles Sheriff Department tests the EcoBoost-all wheel-drive-equipped Ford Police Interceptor sedan and utility vehicles at the Fontana raceway in California. Both were the fastest in 0-100 mph acceleration testing and average lap times. The New Ford EcoBoost Police Interceptor dominates competitors, with the utility vehicle accelerating faster than all other base V6 sedans.

Not only is the third annual win a point of pride, but the results of the utility vehicle are remarkable for both the automotive industry and Ford. Police Interceptor utility represents a 60 percent increase of Ford police vehicle sales. With the performance levels achieved by the Police Interceptor sedan and utility vehicle, Ford is leading two major shifts in police vehicles since the newest introduction last year of the all-new Police Interceptor family. Since the launch, Ford Police Interceptor sedan sales increased by 34 percent in the 2013 calendar year. The utility sales are up a massive 142 percent.

The Ford Police Interceptor utility vehicle is only available with all-wheel drive and 88 percent of the sedan's volume is all-wheel drive. LASD tests show police agencies will not need to sacrifice performance for the added space and versatility the utility vehicle provides. The LASD and Michigan State Police tests earlier this year have shown that Ford's all-wheel drive improves handling, most importantly when in chase situations.

Ford Police Interceptor vehicles are getting the attention of agencies nationwide with the attractive ability to save law enforcement's money without compromising speed. The transition from traditional V8-equipped police vehicles to a powerful, more efficient Ford EcoBoost V6 vehicle makes this possible. Ford is continuing to offer law enforcement agencies alternative vehicle choices with the announcement in September of a new non-pursuit-rated, fuel-efficient 2.0-liter EcoBoost-equipped Special Service Police Sedan. Did we mention it gets 30 mph highway? Ford is continuing to work hard so that their EcoBoost Police Interceptor Vehicles dominate competitors today and in the future.

Ford Doubles Small EcoBoost Engine Production - Coming to the U.S Soon

WESTLAND, Mich. - Ford Motor Company announced today that they will be doubling the production of their 1.0-liter EcoBoost engine, due to high demand. The Cologne, Germany based engine plant will now be making more than 1,000 engines a day, hoping to triple the yearly production to around 480,000 engines by 2015, compared to 141,000 in 2011.

The EcoBoost engine is a turbocharged, petrol engine that is designed to deliver the power and torque of a larger engine, while achieving around 20% better fuel efficiency and producing 15% less greenhouse gases. This eco-friendly engine is a step in the direction of green living, and was named the 2013 International Engine of the Year for the second year in a row.

Ford plans to double small EcoBoost engine production due to an increase in demand that stems partly from the fact that the EcoBoost engine will soon be sold in the United States. The engine will be featured in the new Ford Fiesta later this year. Although it has been available in Europe, this is the first time that the engine will be offered in a vehicle to the United States. Thanks to the 1.0-liter EcoBoost engine, the 2014 Ford Fiesta is expected to reach 34 mpg, with an estimated 197 HP and 214 lb-ft torque with minimal turbo lag.

If you don't want to wait for the 2014 Fiesta, you can check out our 2013 Ford Fiesta Brochure. If you have any questions about the Fiesta, or simply want to get rid of your current vehicle, don't hesitate to stop in to your Plymouth Area Ford Dealership where we can show you our large selection of new and Certified Pre-Owned Cars For Sale.

Ford EcoBoost Reduces Emissions and Saves at the Pump

WESTLAND, Mich.- 76% of Americans commute to work by car driving almost 50 minutes roundtrip. This makes buying a car a very important decision for a number of reasons. Fuel-efficiency is becoming more important because of rising energy costs and commuters are looking this more closely when picking out a new car. Ford’s EcoBoost engines are designed to maximize fuel-efficiency while reducing emissions—this results in less cost at the pump and less cost to the environment.

The EcoBoost concept involves direct injection of fuel into the combustion chamber with the exhaust being channeled into a turbine (instead of being wasted). This results in better fuel-economy, a reduction in CO₂ emissions, and better engine performance. The EcoBoost Won “International Engine of the Year” for 2012 and will save you money at the pump.

There are a number of different Ford EcoBoost Engine configurations available. There is a 3-cylinder, a 4-cylinder, and a 6-cylinder. The EcoBoost is even becoming popular among Ford F-150-lovers. The V-6 version is an option on the Ford F-150, the 2012 Motor Trend "Truck of the Year," and creates 365 horsepower @ 5,000rpm and 420 pound-feet of torque—making it a popular option on this particular vehicle. The EcoBoost Engine is available on several Ford vehicles. Check out the 2013 Ford Escape Brochure, 2013 Ford Fusion Brochure,  and 2013 Ford Taurus Brochure. You can also check out our Certified Pre-Owned Cars for Sale and our Low-Mileage Used Cars.
