With the rise of the 1500 class in the 1950s, Ford Germany needed a new engine that was more in tune with the times. A 1.5-litre was studied before the WWII but never went into production due to internal German politics. Developed from February 1954 onwards, the new in-line four-cylinder engine with overhead valves was fitted to the Taunus 15M launched in January 1955. It lasted until December 1965 with the Taunus Transit and was replaced by the Taunus V4 engine. It has a hollow crankshaft except in its 1.8-litre version, which receives a solid model. Its replacement by the Taunus V4 was completed in 1965
