Transit EcoBlue Hybrid anticipated CO2 emissions from 144 g/km, fuel-efficiency from 7.6 l/100 km.
Ford says that new 48-volt mild-hybrid Fiesta and Focus EcoBoost Hybrid models will be introduced next year, bringing the benefits of electrification to greater numbers of consumers. Echoing competitors who are leading while bowing to EU regulations, the Fiesta and Focus EcoBoost Hybrid models will be unveiled in Amsterdam next week as part of a “comprehensive and compelling new line-up of Ford Hybrid and all-electric cars, SUVs and commercial vehicles.”
Steven Armstrong, group vice president and president, Europe, Middle East and Africa and incoming chairman, Ford of Europe, will be joined by Stuart Rowley, incoming president, Ford of Europe, to show what is said to be a diverse family of electrified powertrains for Ford customers.
The Fiesta EcoBoost Hybrid and Focus EcoBoost Hybrid have a common mild-hybrid architecture tailored to enhance fuel-efficiency with more powerful and responsive performance. As with other competitors a belt-driven integrated starter/generator (BISG) replaces the standard alternator, enabling recovery and storage of energy usually lost during braking and coasting to charge a 48-volt lithium-ion, air-cooled battery pack.
The integrated starter/generator also acts as a motor, working with the low-friction, three-cylinder 1.0‑liter EcoBoost combustion engine* and using the stored energy to provide torque during normal driving and acceleration, as well as running the vehicle’s electrical ancillaries.
The electric torque assistance helps deliver more responsive performance, particularly at lower engine speeds, for a more flexible and connected driving experience. The BISG has also enabled Ford engineers to boost the 1.0-liter EcoBoost engine’s power with a larger turbocharger, by lessening turbo-lag.

*The Fine Print on Ford Hybrids
The declared Fuel/Energy Consumptions, CO2 emissions and electric range are measured according to the technical requirements and specifications of the European Regulations (EC) 715/2007 and (EC) 692/2008 as last amended. Fuel consumption and CO2 emissions are specified for a vehicle variant and not for a single car.
The applied standard test procedure enables comparison between different vehicle types and different manufacturers. In addition to the fuel-efficiency of a car, driving behavior as well as other non-technical factors also play a role in determining a car’s fuel/energy consumption, CO2 emissions and electric range. CO2 is the main greenhouse gas responsible for global warming.
Since 1 September 2017, certain new vehicles are being type-approved using the World Harmonized Light Vehicle Test Procedure (WLTP) according to (EU) 2017/1151 as last amended, which is a new, more realistic test procedure for measuring fuel consumption and CO2 emissions which was put in place because the previous emission ratings were manipulated by automakers to produce results in the lab that couldn’t b obtained by a customer.
Since 1 September 2018 the WLTP has begun replacing the New European Drive Cycle (NEDC), which is the outgoing test procedure. During NEDC Phase-out, WLTP fuel consumption and CO2 emissions are being correlated back to NEDC. There will be differences to the previous fuel economy and emissions as some elements of the tests are altered. The same car might have different fuel consumption and CO2 emissions.
