Ford's EcoBoost (http://www.autoblog.com/tag/ecoboost/) engine lineup is only four years old, but it is growing into an important and popular global engine. As proof of its popularity, Ford just produced its 2 millionth EcoBoost engine - a 2.0-liter inline four-cylinder - which rolled off the assembly line in Louisville, Kentucky under the hood of an Escape (http://www.autoblog.com/ford/escape/).
Ford (http://www.autoblog.com/ford/) now offers five EcoBoost engines around the world ranging from the 1.0-liter inline-three to the twin-turbo 3.5-liter V6, and the automaker is expanding production of two of its engine lines to keep up with demand. Earlier this year, Ford announced that the 2.0-liter EcoBoost would be built in Cleveland, Ohio starting in 2014 (http://www.autoblog.com/2013/02/22/ford-starting-up-2-0l-ecoboost-engine-production-in-ohio/) and, more recently, Ford said that it will be doubling production of the 1.0-liter EcoBoost (http://www.autoblog.com/2013/09/06/ford-doubling-1.0-liter-ecoboost-engine-production/) in Germany. That turbo-three will also be produced in China at a new Ford engine plant in Chongqing.
