INTERNATIONAL ENGINE & POWERTRAIN OF THE YEAR AWARDS
PRESENTED BY ENGINE + POWERTRAIN TECHNOLOGY INTERNATIONAL MAGAZINE This year’ s awards saw a subtle change of title and revisions to the competing categories, in order to ensure a fairer judging of hybrid powertrains. Previously grouped by displacement or capacity( sub 1-litre, 1-litre to 1.4-litre etc), the classes ha�e now been altered to re�ect output, with 12 categories in all being contested.
The overall 2019 title went to the Ferrari F154 3.9 V8, making it the engine with the most IEOTY wins in the 21-year history of the awards, but it previously shared the triple crown honour with the Ford 1.0-litre Ecoboost which had been the overall award winner in 2012, 2013 and 2014.
This year, the Ford 1.0-litre EcoBoost emerged as champion in the new Sub-150 PS category, ahead of no less than 73 other contenders including larger displacement engines like BMW’ s 1.5-litre B38 three-cylinder turbo and PSA Peugeot Citroen’ s 1.2-litre three-pot turbo( a former three-times winner in the previous 1.0-1.4-litre class), while out-pointing its previous sub�1�0�litre class leader, the Volkswagen �roup�s 1�0 three�cylinder turbo�
