Production record with CGI
http://www.sintercast.com/data/conte...%20English.pdf
All time high with CGI production at Tupy
[Stockholm, 8 April 2010] – Following Ford’s announcement of its all-new 6.7 litre V8 diesel engine during
September 2009, sales of the 2011 F-Series pick-up trucks have begun in North American dealer showrooms. The
F-250, F-350, F-450 and F-550 vehicles establish a new benchmark as the first application of a Compacted
Graphite Iron (CGI) cylinder block in the high volume North American pick-up truck sector. The lead-up to the
sales launch was preceded by the start of foundry production of the SinterCast-CGI cylinder block at the Tupy
foundry in Brazil during mid-2009, followed by a rapid ramp-up to enable a seamless transition from the Model
Year 2010 engine. The 6.7 litre Power Stroke V8 has received consistently rave reviews from motoring
journalists for exceptional noise refinement, power, torque and fuel economy in excess of 26.5 mpg (<8.9 litres
per 100 km), an improvement of 18-25% compared to the diesel engine option in Ford’s 2010 Super Duty® pickups.
These accomplishments were achieved while satisfying 2010 U.S. federal emissions regulations – the most
stringent NOx emissions requirements in the world.
