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."
