Following the acrimonious end to its relationship with Navistar,
Ford has launched its new 6.7-litre Power Stroke V-8 turbocharged
diesel engine.
Previously, Navistar manufactured the diesel engines for Ford's
F-Series Super Duty trucks, however, these engines will now be
manufactured in-house and Ford will adopt SCR technology and DEF to
meet the 2010 EPA regulations.
The first vehicles to be fitted with the new engine systems will
go on sale in 2011 and will feature an "inboard exhaust" which will
enable easier service work for all major engine components,
reducing vehicle downtime.
