Growing Market

It is estimated that the U.S. is responsible for more than 50% of global vehicle emissions. In 2021, the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) finalized new vehicle emission standards to help further reduce greenhouse gas emissions.  

New legislature will have little impact if the vehicles already on the road are not maintained correctly. Keeping vehicle emissions low by maintaining the emission control system with the right components is good business, and good for the planet. 

• Since the 1970s, EVAP has been mandated for all gasoline-powered cars and trucks.

Service Opportunities

Standard’s EGV827 EGR valve is specifically designed for the 5.7L V8 engine found in 2010-03 Chrysler, Jeep, and Dodge vehicles. This precision-manufactured EGR valve also includes both gaskets so that a complete replacement of the commonly failed OE EGR valve can be performed.

• EGR valves operate under extreme temperatures. These conditions can lead to accelerated carbon buildup and increased stress on the valve components, potentially causing premature failure.

Engineering

Standard’s emission control components are designed and precision-engineered for durability and OE-matching performance. In an effort to help keep vehicles running clean, Standard® engineers develop more durable, longer-lasting components. Standard® emission components are developed in our North American facilities in New York, South Carolina and Kansas, ensuring the most reliable and best-performing products on the market.

• Standard® EGR Valves are engineered and tested at our Long Island City, New York location.

Precision Manufacturing

We are an expert manufacturer with 19 facilities around the world. Emission components are manufactured in our Greenville, SC, Independence, KS, and Reynosa, Mexico plants. Starting with raw materials, we validate and control the entire process from start to finish to ensure quality and performance. 

• SMP facilities hold IATF 16949, ISO 9001 and ISO 14001 certifications. These certifications guarantee a high-quality, reliable component in every box.

Testing & Validation

Standard® parts undergo rigorous lab testing such as performance 
benchmarking, product life-cycle testing and end-of-line testing. 
Processes are component-specific and always thorough. For example, Standard® Canister Purge Solenoids go through a barrage of tests including accelerated wear, thermal cycling, thermal shock, salt fog, vibration, and drop testing.

Additionally, new products are installed and tested on vehicles at 
our Vehicle Testing Center in Irving, Texas. This facility is responsible for validating the performance of new products before they are released.
