In my opinion, it's coming down to either /or time for Ford, either they support Ecoboost
as the new direction for Falcon or they stick with supporting the I-6 until sales stop.....

The orders aren't there to support Ecoboost anyway, it's not like they have massive waiting lists for it, so even if supplies weren't so tight they would still be building sweet f all of them.

They built more units then normal in Jan.

Thats cause we haven't built any LPi this year due to a supplier issue and they are building what they can to fill the gap. Built heaps of turbos.

But in saying that from the build sheets I hadn't noticed much of an increase in Ecoboost, if at all, and I check it most days.

Boss, how are I-6 Turbo engine builds these days, still around 10 per day or less since down balance?

The graphical stats are uploaded into the Tech Portal now.

Not a bad result for Ford overall with total sales up 20% compared to the same time last year and both Fiesta and Focus performing well in their respective segments.
