Standard Motor Products, Inc. (SMP) is actively enhancing its comprehensive Evaporative Emissions (EVAP) program. The Standard® EVAP program holds the title for being the industry’s most complete program, featuring an impressive array of over 1,150 part numbers. This range includes essential components like Canister Purge Solenoids and Canister Purge Hoses.
Driving Factors Behind EVAP Component Demand
Recent changes in emission regulations compel vehicle manufacturers to advance their leak detection methods. Stringent governmental regulations have reduced the permitted hydrocarbon emissions before triggering a check engine warning. As a result, this shift sets the stage for robust growth in sales of EVAP components, significantly increasing the importance of precise manufacturing and testing. The aftermarket is expected to experience escalated demand across a wider variety of components, particularly Canister Purge Hoses. To address this need, the Standard® line of Canister Purge Hoses has been rapidly expanded, including late-model coverage for in-demand applications like late-model General Motors trucks and Ford vans.
Manufacturing Excellence at Standard Motor Products
Nearly 80% of Standard® EVAP components are produced in SMP's North American facilities, located in Greenville, South Carolina, Independence, Kansas, and Reynosa, Mexico. Each component undergoes meticulous engineering processes and rigorous testing to guarantee durability and performance matching that of original equipment. To deliver reliable operation, these components must clear multiple quality assurance tests. Additionally, to confirm seamless integration with the more complex EVAP systems found in modern vehicles, they are subjected to comprehensive on-vehicle testing at SMP's dedicated Vehicle Testing Center in Irving, Texas.
The Extensive Range of EVAP Components
The Standard® EVAP program encompasses a wide selection of components: Canister Purge Valves and Solenoids, Canister Vent Valves and Solenoids, Fuel Vapor Canisters, Fuel Vapor Leak Detection Pumps, and Vapor Canister Purge Pumps, among others. This robust offering forms part of a larger Emission Control Program that includes crankcase ventilation, exhaust gas recirculation, and diesel emission products.
