Subject: Ford's New EcoBlue Diesel April 29th 2016, 1:12 am
Sounds like it has some slick innovations. They're even calling it a 'game changer.' We have to keep things in context as Ford has never been bashful about overstating the facts.
The article says it's a new "range" of EcoBlue diesels. I'm not sure if that means different displacements or the same 2L with different tunes. The article talks about passing Euro Stage VI emissions so maybe it isn't coming to the states?

Ford has unveiled a new 2.0-liter four-cylinder diesel called the EcoBlue, which will be the first of a new range of clean-sheet oil-burners. The EcoBlue 2.0-liter will be the first Ford engine to use modular camshafts, which increase fuel economy by 13 percent. Expect the EcoBlue diesel to power future Ford passenger and commercial vehicles with an output ranging from 98 to 237 hp. The Transit and Transit Custom are slated to be the first models to use the new engine.
