Ford is launching a new 3.2L five-cylinder turbodiesel engine in North America. Combining performance with exceptional fuel economy, this addition to the Power Stroke family will debut in the all-new 2014 Ford Transit.

Smaller than the existing 6.7L Power Stroke V8 in the F-Series Super Duty trucks, it marks the only application of a five-cylinder diesel engine in a commercial van in North America.

While power has not been certified yet, European ratings amount to 197 horsepower and 347 lb-ft of torque.

The 3.2L diesel engine will join Ford's increasingly efficient lineup, which is set to grow from four to eight vehicles achieving 40 mpg or higher next year.
