Ford delays smaller F-100 pickup, focuses on EcoBoost powertrains
http://wot.motortrend.com/6279122/auto-news/ford-delays-smaller-f-100-pickup-focuses-on-ecoboost-powertrains/index.html
The “ecoboost” powertrains that Ford is developing could have a significant impact on the truck market. Using dual injectors, fuel mileage can increase by 40-50%, significant by any standard, but especially so in a market dominated by 20 mpg or less vehicles. By blending ethanol and gasoline in the motor, the engine can optimize combustion. This development is what I hope is a promising view into the future for at least one of our domestic automakers.
