Ford Mondeo: EcoBoost Patrol – Latest Car News by Babez.de
Ford of Europe is launching the most stylish and technologically advanced Mondeo model ever. With a fresh, restyled exterior, an enhanced interior, plus new high-efficiency Ford EcoBoost petrol and TDCi diesel powertrains and a host of new driver comfort and convenience features and safety technologies, the new Mondeo completes the rejuvenation of Ford’s large car range, and takes its position as the flagship model in the company’s European portfolio.
Following significant updates to the Ford S-MAX and Galaxy models earlier this year, the new Mondeo on sale in September/October is the latest Ford car to benefit from the continuing evolution of Ford kinetic design. New Mondeo will see the first application of a higher performance 240PS derivative of the efficient new 2.0-litre Ford EcoBoost turbocharged petrol engine, joining the existing 203PS version of this engine, introduced in Mondeo, new S-MAX and new Galaxy earlier in 2010. the latest Mondeo also introduces a comprehensively revised version of the 2.2-litre Ford Duratorq TDCi diesel engine, which boasts a 12 per cent power increase to 200PS, making it the most powerful Ford Duratorq diesel engine so far.
Mondeo designThe new Mondeo is set to build on the model’s established reputation as a stylish, versatile and great-to-drive vehicle, and for offering high levels of driving enjoyment and comfort to its occupants. Central to this is the application of a fresh look for both body styles available in the UK – five door and wagon – to distinguish the new model. Ford’s design team set out to emphasise further the kinetic design signatures in each body style while incorporating new technologies such as LED lighting. Bolder graphics and proportions at the front end, including larger lower trapezoidal and slimmer upper grilles, plus a revised bonnet profile and integral new LED day running lights further emphasise the Mondeo’s premium appeal and sporty stance. New Mondeo’s sleek lines are emphasised in the side profile by a new, full chrome window surround for the higher series models, while larger, re-designed, LED tail lamps give additional kinetic movement to the rear.
Sophisticated interiorThe interior of the new Mondeo has also been comprehensively reworked to give it a higher level of quality and sophistication through meticulous attention to detail, and by employing new, higher quality trim materials. the re-designed centre console flows more elegantly, while the door panels feature a new ‘toproll’ and flush, integrated, door release mechanisms. Further enhancements include a new central overhead console featuring LED ambient lighting, and a woven headliner. the use of new high quality interior trim materials in new Mondeo boost the overall feeling of craftsmanship and are complemented by high-class inlay foils and new ‘jewel’ detailing on switches and vents in satin chrome. New interior colour schemes also offer two new lighter interior executions for a rich, premium, appeal.
New powertrainsThe new Mondeo offers a wide range of Ford’s latest high-efficiency powertrain technologies, delivering a key combination of fuel efficiency and low emissions, yet still maintaining Ford’s renowned driving enjoyment. New Mondeo is the first Ford of Europe model to feature a more powerful 240PS version of the 2.0-litre Ford EcoBoost power unit. This joins the existing 203PS engine already available in Mondeo and the new S-MAX and Galaxy. Lightweight all-aluminum construction is the key to the new 2.0-litre Ford EcoBoost engine, which features latest-generation high-pressure direct injection, low-inertia turbocharging and twin independent variable cam timing. it has an advanced combustion system which contributes significantly to achieving new levels of performance and fuel efficiency for petrol engines in this power range. Average CO2 emissions of just 179 g/km are achieved for the 2.0-litre Ford EcoBoost engine, regardless of the power rating or body style. Ford EcoBoost technology offers fuel consumption and emission reductions of up to 20 per cent compared with conventional petrol engines of a similar performance.

DidYouKnow: Domestic cats purr at about 26 cycles per second, the same frequency as an idling diesel engine.
The fuel is under high pressure depending on which engine you are talking about, On a common rail system it has a rail that is already supply with high pressure then a rocker or a electrical solnoid force a plunger in the injector and the fuel is atomized thru the restriction in the injector tip, diesel fuel is only flammable when it is atomized, the timming works about the same as it would in your car, but instead of the spark plug lighting just before or at top dead center, the injector is typically starting to spray just after the crank is done roatating from the intake stroke, the when the piston is at its peak of stroke the internal combustion reaches extreme temps and causes a internal explsion in the cylnider thus being the power stroke
Supercharging a diesel builds up alot of heat in these engines. Diesels dont have throttle bodies is also another thing to think about. There were some Detroit diesels that had superchargers back in the day but they didnt give a large gain.
Turbos on on diesels actually do reverse cause the more air in it it actually cools the combustion process, so it makes more power per boost PSI than on a gas engine.
Supercharging a gas engine is perferred cause it will start boosting at low rpms, but these turbos now will spool up fast and its free power.
