BorgWarner Inc. (BWA) said Ford (F) selected BorgWarner's gasoline turbocharger technology for the company's new four-cylinder EcoBoost engine, scheduled to make its global debut early in 2010. The direct-injected 1.6-liter and 2.0-liter gasoline engines combine turbocharging and fuel injection technology to deliver greater fuel economy.
As previously announced, BorgWarner will also supply turbochargers for rear-wheel drive trucks featuring Ford's 3.5-liter V6 EcoBoost engine. Ford expects up to 90% of its nameplates sold in North America will be available with downsized direct-injected turbocharged engines by 2013.
