gillyallan Posted April 10, 2015 Share Posted April 10, 2015 Are they identical and just a name change ? Just I seen a 13 plate with econetic and mine is 14 plate with ecoboost. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Well Spoken Waffle Posted April 10, 2015 Share Posted April 10, 2015 extra features to make it more fuel efficient. lower to the ground, different wheels, i believe some closed vents Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Willy Posted April 10, 2015 Share Posted April 10, 2015 Just the same mate. They changed the boot nameplates around sept 2013. I had a 2013 ecoboost 125bhp with an econetic name plate All the 1.0 Fiestas are ecoboosts :) *correction* Not all 1.0 were ecoboosts. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Riordian Posted April 10, 2015 Share Posted April 10, 2015 I think that econetic stands for diesel engines... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
L22EEW Posted April 10, 2015 Share Posted April 10, 2015 I think that econetic stands for diesel engines... False I'm afraid. I have a Econetic badge of the back of my fiesta, which is a 1.0T EcoBoost petrol [start/Stop] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paramanic Posted April 10, 2015 Share Posted April 10, 2015 Snap except mine was the 100bhp [before the remap] :D Am the same a got titanium 125ps EcoBoost but had a econetic badge Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Riordian Posted April 10, 2015 Share Posted April 10, 2015 Maybe in britain they just put the badges on petrol too... but i am 100% sure that the diesel engine 1.6 is called econetic... google it :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MartynS Posted April 10, 2015 Share Posted April 10, 2015 I thought econetic was another trim level like Style, Zetec, Titanium etc, with all the 'eco friendly' changes as listed above? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Willy Posted April 10, 2015 Share Posted April 10, 2015 They put the econetic badge on all the Mk7.5s to start with. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
laumk7 Posted April 11, 2015 Share Posted April 11, 2015 They put the econetic badge on all the Mk7.5s to start with.I don't believe they did. I had a 1.25 2013 (62 plate) zetec, that had nothing on its rear, a neighbour has a 13 plate 1l I think (when I believe you had the choice of with or without ecoboost) again nothing on its rear Sent from my iPhone using Ford OC Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Willy Posted April 11, 2015 Share Posted April 11, 2015 I stand corrected :p I don't know the answer then and it looks a bit random. We do no for sure though that it wasn't a specific trim level, however there was / is a diesel econetic at one point as mentioned earlier.

You are correct Martyn. It looks now like there are econetic versions (1.6 Diesel) but as mentioned earlier they did stick the badges on other trim levels, and petrol versions Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MONDEO TXS 2.2 Posted April 11, 2015 Share Posted April 11, 2015 Wikipedia gives a clear definition of Ford's ECOnetic branding - it's all about fuel economy & eco friendliness achieved by design. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leezer Posted April 11, 2015 Share Posted April 11, 2015 I'm pretty sure ECOnetic relates to the start stop technology in newer models...might be wrong. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well Spoken Waffle Posted April 14, 2015 Share Posted April 14, 2015 You will get start stop with all ecoboost engines. The economic will just have lower springs (not for sportiness) and smaller more aero friendly wheels Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Allen Lackenby Posted May 5, 2016 Share Posted May 5, 2016 Ford ECOnetic Technology is a customer driven initiative bringing together a range of vehicle features and technologies specifically targeting better fuel economy, reduced emissions and overall lower cost-of-ownership – without compromise to great design or driving dynamics. For example, EcoBoost petrol engine technology and refined Duratorq diesel engine technology deliver more torque and power with lower fuel consumption and CO2 emissions (meeting the latest Euro 5 emission standards). Copied from Fords website. We own a 12 plate focus 1.0 ecoboost with a Econetic technology badge. This means it is on all engines that provide better fuel economy,emissions and cheaper to run overall Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jbell Posted May 5, 2016 Share Posted May 5, 2016 My (new to me) 2013 titanium 125 with 17" s and full dress up kit has the econetic badge :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
supraking Posted May 24, 2016 Share Posted May 24, 2016 wow people seem to be making this more confusing than it needs to be. ok so yes, fords badging policy is crap. but pretty sure all the early ecoboosts got slapped with an econetic badge, until they produced an ecoboost badge later in the year (as mentioned above, september 2013) ive just got an ecoboost zetec s date of reg was 1 sept 2013. and it has an econetic badge, just like my inlaws 1.6 diesel econetic. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
