Chronology
PredecessorFord Duratorq engine/Ford DLD engine

EcoBlue is the marketing name for a range of diesel engines from Ford Motor Company. The EcoBlue engines were developed under the codename "Panther" by Ford engineering teams in the U.K. and Germany, and are expected to succeed the Duratorq diesel engines, offering optimised fuel efficiency and reduced CO2 and NOx emissions.

An initial 2.0-litre (1,995 cc) variant will be offered with 105, 130 and 170 PS (77, 96 and 125 kW; 104, 128 and 168 hp) in commercial vehicle applications. This engine architecture is capable of delivering more than 200 PS (147 kW; 197 hp), and will later feature with such power outputs in Ford passenger cars, alongside a 1.5-litre (1,498 cc) variant.

In early 2018 Ford launched its Ranger Raptor with a biturbo 2.0-litre (1,995 cc) EcoBlue producing 213 PS (157 kW; 210 hp) and 500 N⋅m (369 lb⋅ft) of torque.[1] Also in 2018 Ford launched an even higher spec biturbo 2.0-litre (1,995 cc) EcoBlue producing 238 PS (175 kW; 235 hp) for the Edge Titanium, ST-Line and Vignale SUV in Europe. [2] A North American-spec version of the biturbo 2.0-litre (1,995 cc) EcoBlue was planned debut in the 2020 Transit, but production of the engine was canceled before launch due to the COVID-19 pandemic as well as a lack of market demand to justify federalising the engine.[3]
