Ford adds 3-cylinder, 1.0L EcoBoost engine and 8-speed transmission to lineup; new hybrid transmission in 2012

Green Car Congress

Engineers focused on improving thermal efficiency and reducing friction of the engine’s internal moving parts, especially during warm-up—the time when an engine emits higher levels of CO 2 and other pollutants. An exhaust manifold cast into the cylinder head. The one-piece assembly lowers the temperature of the exhaust gases.
