Designer of Ford’s latest Ecoboost engine explains engine downsizing

Ford engineer, Andrew Fraser, one of the team that designed the new Ford Ecoboost 1.0 litre three cylinder turbocharged engine, will be coming to Cambridge to explain how engine downsizing can achieve better performance, fuel efficiency and lower CO2 emissions for cars of the future.

In a free talk put on by the IMechE and IET, Andrew Fraser will describe the pressures that are pushing manufacturers to develop smaller, more efficient petrol engines.  He will explain how Ford has developed the overall concept and key features of the Ecoboost engine range, and the engine development programme that produced this radically new design for Ford’s,  which won the International Engine of the Year 2012.

The talk is this Thursday (21st March) in the Cambridge University Department of Engineering, Trumpington Street, Cambridge, CB2 1PZ

Refreshments served from 18.30.  Talk starts at 19.00.  Ends by 21.00 following Q&A.

No need to book.  All welcome.  Suitable for all ages.  Part of the Cambridge Science Festival programme.
