Duratorq TDCi 2.0-litre achieves a peak torque output of 330Nm of torque at 1800rpm. That level of torque is 16 per cent higher than the Duratorq TDDi's output, using the same base engine architecture.

In addition, Ford's innovative transient overtorque technology generates an additional low-speed torque that contributes to Duratorq TDCi's mid-range flexibility and instant responsiveness. Transient overtorque technology uses sophisticated matching between the turbo boost, injection quantity and timing to push up the torque curve in the low rev range and thereby overcome the lag inherent in steady-state turbodiesel operation. For Mondeo Duratorq TDCi, this feature is combined with specifically tailored gear ratios to provide refined and easy acceleration in gear during normal driving conditions.

The Mondeo Duratorq TDCi accelerates from 0-62mph in 9.9 seconds and has a top speed of 125 mph.

The most recent embodiment of Ford driving quality - the new Ford Mondeo - is ready to redefine contemporary diesel driving quality with the new Duratorq TDCi 2.0-litre. Smooth, powerful and quiet, the 16-valve 130PS Duratorq TDCi heads Mondeo's diesel engine line-up, above its high-pressure, direct-injection, 115PS Duratorq TDDi engine.

" We've really concentrated on delivering refined power in this vehicle," said Phil Lake, chief engineer of powertrain operations. "Pushing down on the accelerator gives a smooth and immediately powerful response. It's so flexible that you rarely have to downshift to achieve an immediate burst of speed, which makes the Mondeo Duratorq TDCi a joy to drive. Its refinement and performance are a perfect complement to Mondeo's superior driving quality."

Economy: The precision of Ford's Duratorq TDCi second-generation common-rail fuel injection technology manages to combine improved performance with economy figures equal to, or better than, comparative direct injection diesels. The Ford Focus Duratorq TDCi delivers 51.4mpg and a CO2 figure of 145 g/km, while the Ford Mondeo returns 47.9mpg and 156 g/km. The forthcoming Fiesta Duratorq TDCi will be capable of delivering 65.7mpg and an equally impressive CO2figure of 119g/km.

"Currently, diesel sales account for 21 percent of all cars sold in the UK each year and we anticipate that this figure will have increased to at least 30 percent by 2005", said Ian McAllister, chairman and managing director, Ford Motor Company Limited. "Clearly, diesels are becoming an increasingly important segment of the UK motor industry. With CO2 levels soon to become the key factor in company car taxation, we intend to offer customers cutting edge diesel technology that will exceed all their needs. The new Ford Duratorq TDCi engine is the latest and best that diesel technology has to offer and it will appeal to the most discerning and demanding of UK buyers."

1.6-liter Duratorq TDCi engine of the Ford Focus meets Euro 5 emissions standard

Duratorq TDCi engine
With the 1.6-liter Duratorq TDCi in Ford Focus Ford is among the first automakers to offer a diesel vehicle that already meets the strict Euro 5 emissions standard. Both the 66 kW (90 hp) version and the TDCi 80 kW (109 PS) correspond to those Emissions Directive, the first only from the January 2011 for new registrations is mandatory.
Extensive technical modifications were necessary to achieve this ambitious goal. For example, the injectors of the injection system to now be a new specification. The inlet side was like the special at one oxygen sensor exhaust, added a revision, while the maps of the engine electronics have been adjusted. Finally, a conventional diesel particulate filter cleans surfaces coated with the burnt air, without having the additional fuel additives are added.

At the same time were the fuel consumption and CO2 emissions in the center of attention - they should not surpass the impressive level of the already extremely fuel efficient and low emission Euro 4 TDCi. With success: the new engine is available with a carbon dioxide emissions of 119 g / km and a combined consumption (according to EU standard 80/1268/EEC) of only 4.5 liters of diesel per 100 km at the head of development. It is for the Ford Focus 3 - and 5-door station wagon model available as well as in the tournament.

"We have now taken this hurdle, because we are like new challenges," said Gunnar Herrmann, Global C-Car Vehicle Line Director, Ford Motor Company. "We also wanted to offer our customers a car that already meets the 2011 coming into force exhaust emission rules and thus will benefit from the appropriate tax relief."

2.0

Based on the PSA DW10 engine and with a capacity of 1997 cc, this engine was developed by Peugeot engineers in France on behalf of both PSA and Ford Motor Company. Production is currently taking place in France and Skövde in Sweden. The engine was released to Ford models in 2005 Ford Focus, and followed in the 2007 Mk IV Mondeo. It features a 16-valve cylinder head with twin belt driven camshafts and utilises a variable geometry turbocharger with overboost function. An intercooler is always present, as opposed to some applications of its predecessor.

In the 2005 Focus, output is a respectable 136 PS (134 hp/100 kW). In the 2007 Mondeo it is offered with 130 PS (128 hp/96 kW) or 140 PS (138 hp/103 kW), mated to a manual or 6-speed Durashift automatic gearbox.

2.2

Based on the PSA DW12 engine and with a capacity of 2179 cc, this engine was released in April 2008 by Ford in the Mk IV Mondeo, soon following in the Ford S-Max and Ford Galaxy. It has been engineered by Ford in England, as described the fourth phase of the joint-venture agreement with PSA. Dagenham is the place of manufacture. It features a 16-valve cylinder head with twin belt driven camshafts and utilises a variable geometry turbocharger with overboost function, rather than the twin turbo approach of Peugeot and Citroen. The result is a very respectable 175 PS (172 hp/129 kW) complete with 295 ft·lbf (400 N·m) of torque, although 310 ft·lbf (420 N·m) is temporarily available thanks to the transient overboost function.

Continuing the Ford/PSA diesel engine joint-venture, these straight-4 engines are again sold under the Duratorq TDCi name by Ford, and as the HDi by Citroën and Peugeot. An evolution of the existing DW10/DW12 engine, the new engines have a traditional belt-driven system, moving away from the chain-driven camshafts of the previous generation (Puma) TDCi engines. Both engines utilise common rail diesel technology and are the result of the fourth phase of the cooperation between PSA and Ford (initiated in 1998).

Both engines utilise all-new, third-generation common rail injection systems. The 2.0 engines utilising a system from Siemens and the 2.2 a system from Bosch. In both systems the injection pressure has been increased to 1800 bar. This higher injection pressure, associated with new piezo-electric injectors in which each nozzle is equipped with seven apertures (instead of five previously), allows the number of injections to be multiplied (potentially up to six per cycle) and ensures meticulous uniformity of the diesel injection spray pattern. As a result of this optimised air/diesel mix, combustion is more complete and more uniform, and therefore reduces emissions at source.

The new generation of turbodiesel engines (Ford Duratorq TDCI shown above) require better fuel quality to run at their best. More advanced turbodiesel engines in models like the Land Rover Freelander (below left) and BMW 520d also need high-quality diesel fuel.
