Όσο παράξενο και αν μας ακούγεται, εν έτει 2015 ακόμη και τα θηριώδη pickups χρειάζονται τεχνολογίες που μειώνουν την κατανάλωση και τις εκπομπές ρύπων. Γι’αυτό και η Ford ανακοίνωσε πως όλα τα τουρμπάτα F-150 MY2017 με EcoBoost κινητήρες αποκτούν σύστημα Start/Stop.

Πρόκειται για τους EcoBoost κινητήρες 2,7-λίτρων και 3,5-λίτρων, συμπεριλαμβανομένου και της έκδοσης Raptor, που αποκτούν το συγκεκριμένο σύστημα, το οποίο έχει σχεδιαστεί

αποκλειστικά για το F-150 και δεν θα μπαίνει σε λειτουργία όταν το F-150 βρίσκεται σε λειτουργία ρυμούλκησης ή έχει επιλεγεί το σύστημα τετρακίνησης.

Ford Gas-Saving Auto Start-Stop Technology to Be Standard Across Entire 2017 EcoBoost-Equipped F-150 Lineup

DEARBORN, Mich., Jan. 21, 2016 – Ford, America’s truck leader, continues to set the pace of innovation among full-size trucks with the expansion of Auto Start-Stop technology across the entire lineup of EcoBoost®-equipped 2017 F-150 pickups.

The 2016 F-150 with 2.7-liter EcoBoost engine comes standard with Auto Start-Stop. That offering continues for 2017, with the addition of the technology as standard equipment for all 3.5-liter EcoBoost engines including the all-new high-output version for F-150 Raptor.

At the rate EcoBoost is growing, fuel-saving Auto Start-Stop could represent more than 60 percent of the truck lineup – giving F-150 the highest number of Ford nameplates offering standard Auto Start-Stop technology.

“EcoBoost already powers F-150’s best-in-class towing,” said Doug Scott, Ford truck group marketing manager. “Now, with every EcoBoost-equipped F-150 mildly electrified with standard Auto Start-Stop technology, customers’ fuel efficiency is expected to improve as well.”

Specially tuned for truck customers, Auto Start-Stop shuts off the engine when the vehicle is at a stop – except when towing or in four-wheel-drive mode – to give drivers power on demand when they need it most. When the brake is released, the engine restarts quickly.

Auto Start-Stop for F-150 benefits from Ford’s hybrid electric vehicle expertise, helping ensure smooth and refined engine restarts.

Actual fuel savings vary depending on driving patterns. The technology also contributes to a reduction in CO2 emissions due to decreased idle times.

The following Ford vehicles are available with Auto Start-Stop:
