DuraTorque is a sub-brand name Ford gives to all its modern turbodiesel engines in Europe.
Some of the engines are shared with PSA (Peugeot-Citroën), who call them HDi instead.
It is just a name.

Duratorque is Ford Europe's new(ish) range of clean burning common rail diesels. They come in the guises of a 1.4L, turbocharged 8 valver, a 1.6L variable nozzle turbo and charge cooled, 16 valver, and the same for a 1.8L unit.
The identifying badge on the rear of the car powered by these motors is TDCi
The 1.4 and 1.6 motors fall into band B of the Co2 emissions table and therefore attract a very low annual road tax of just £35 per year.

DuraTorque.
Its just the name Ford give their latest diesels.
They had Zetec .... then Duratec (like the V6 in Mondeo/Cougar etc and subsequently they introduced a Duratec 4 cylinder .... in Focus's and so on these days.).
The Torque bit on the diesels is just word play cos Diesels have shed loads of torque....
