DEARBORN, Mich., Nov. 19, 2012 /PRNewswire/ --

Ford has sold 500,000-plus EcoBoost®-powered vehicles globally since 2009 launch
EcoBoost sales in North America exceed 389,000 since launch
Ford to expand lineup bringing award-winning EcoBoost 1.0-liter three-cylinder engine to U.S.

Ford's highly successful, fuel-efficient EcoBoost® engine technology hit a big milestone recently with its 500,000th engine being produced just three years after its launch in 2009.

The 500,000th engine was fitted into a 2013 Ford Escape that rolled off the line at Ford's Louisville Assembly Plant.

The milestone is another step in the One Ford plan to be the undisputed industry fuel economy leader, with more segment fuel economy leaders than Toyota or any other manufacturer. By the end of next month, customers will be able to choose eight Ford-built vehicles that deliver 40 or more miles per gallon — double the number available last year and more than any other automaker. Ford also recently introduced the world's most fuel efficient mid-size sedan with the Fusion hybrid, rated at 47 mpg city, 47 mpg highway and 47 mpg combined. The C-Max Hybrid is also rated at a combined 47 mpg, which beats the Toyota Prius v.
