EcoBlue is the marketing name for a range of diesel engines from Ford of Europe. The EcoBlue engines were developed under the codename "Panther" by Ford engineering teams in the U.K. and Germany, and are expected to succeed the Duratorq diesel engines, offering optimised fuel efficiency and reduced CO₂ and NO_x emissions.

An initial {{convert|1995|cc|L|1|adj=on|order=flip}} variant will be offered with {{convert|105|,|130|and|170|PS|kW hp|0|abbr=on}} in commercial vehicle applications. This engine architecture is capable of delivering more than {{convert|200|PS|kW hp|0|abbr=on}}, and will later feature with such power outputs in Ford passenger cars, alongside a {{convert|1498|cc|L|1|adj=on|order=flip}} variant.
