E6 Ecotorq Engine, the source of power, technology and efficiency in Ford Trucks:

Improvement in fuel economy; higher performance with up to 480 PS power

The new Ford Trucks series offers a range of power options from 330 to 480 PS with E6 emissions. The latest Ecotorq engines deliver better fuel economy than previous versions and are the most competitive in the segment, according to tests conducted by independent bodies — while increasing both the torque and power for performance in all conditions.

The new Ford Trucks models have improved power but also braking force, with a braking system that is seven times stronger than in the previous generation. The retarder option and engine brake provide 600kW and 400kW of braking force respectively, for a total braking output of 1.000kW. With these new features, the new generation of Ford trucks provide greater reliability and safety. 

All vehicles are also offered with 10mm, 500-megapascal chassis frames that further improve the durability of the vehicle.

The new Ford Trucks models also yield savings after purchase. Maintenance costs have been reduced, while service periods have been extended to reduce the scheduled downtime and provide a further competitive advantage for Ford customers in the logistics and construction sectors. The service periods extended to 120,000 km, offered for the Tractor and Construction series will allow the customers to have the most competitive maintenance advantage in the logistics and construction sectors.
