          SHANGHAI, China, June 2, 2016 – Ford's 1.0litre EcoBoost engine has been voted best in class at the International Engine of the Year Awards for the fifth year in a row. Judges praised the combination of drivability, performance, economy, refinement and technology that continues to set the standard.
          The frugal three-cylinder EcoBoost engine was named "Best Engine Under 1.0-litre" by a panel of 65 automotive journalists, from 31 countries, to win its class each and every year since launch. This year it finished ahead of 32 competitor engines, 19 more than it competed against in 2012. Significantly, 2015 also saw an increase in competition from global automotive manufacturers of sub 1.0-litre, turbocharged engines with direct fuel injection.
In 2014, the 1.0-litre EcoBoost became the first engine to be named overall International Engine of the Year for a third time in a row, and also was in 2012 named "Best New Engine."
          Globally, Ford's range of powerful yet fuel-efficient EcoBoost engines includes 1.5-litre, 1.6litre, 2.0-litre and 2.3-litre four-cylinder engines, and 2.7-litre and 3.5-litre V6 engines. The latter powers the all-new Ford GT supercar that will return to racing in Le Mans later this month.
          In Thailand, Ford is ready to deliver the 1.5-litre four-cylinder EcoBoost Turbo engine with E85 gasohol compatibility in the new Focus, which offers 180 horsepower at 6,000 rpm and 240 Nm of torque at 1,600 up to 5,000 rpm. Customers can enjoy a new level of power and responsive driving experience starting from June.
          "That it's won the overall award three times and keeps getting the jurors' votes now highlights just how special Ford's 1.0-litre EcoBoost is," said Dean Slavnich, co-chairman of the 18th International Engine of the Year awards that were held in Stuttgart, Germany, and editor-in-chief of Engine Technology International magazine. "It's a fantastic testament to how down-sizing and greater fuel efficiency needn't mean sacrifice in other areas like power, refinement and drivability, and can even help enhance these elements."
