Engine Overview
The 2.0 TDCi EcoBlue YMCB is built to provide a strong balance between performance, refinement, and efficiency. Its high-pressure common-rail injection system and variable-geometry turbo ensure responsive power delivery with minimal turbo lag, ideal for the Galaxy’s heavy chassis and passenger load.
Ford engineered the EcoBlue generation with a redesigned aluminum block and integrated balancer shafts, significantly reducing vibration and noise compared to earlier diesel models. Advanced EGR cooling, DPF, and SCR (AdBlue) systems help achieve Euro 6d-TEMP emissions compliance without compromising reliability.
