Standard Motor Products Enhances Electronic Parking Brake Actuator Offering

Standard Motor Products Expands Electronic Parking Brake Actuator Program

Standard Motor Products, Inc. (SMP) is making strides in the automotive aftermarket sector by expanding its Electronic Parking Brake Actuator program. As parking brake actuators gain recognition as critical safety components, their demand is surging within the industry. This recent growth reflects the shift from manually operated cable parking brakes to electronic systems across new vehicle models, making them essential for both import and domestic vehicles.

The company’s parking brake actuators are notable for being entirely new, with no remanufactured parts, ensuring that they meet or exceed original equipment (OE) performance standards and seamlessly integrate with modern electronic safety systems. Their plug-and-play design simplifies the installation process, requiring no additional programming. Each actuator often comes with necessary O-rings and hardware, promoting a comprehensive repair solution.

To ensure reliability and durability, every actuator undergoes thorough testing both in SMP's in-house lab located in New York and on actual vehicles at their Texan Testing Center. This rigorous testing guarantees that the actuators perform optimally under various conditions, maintaining the high standards expected by both SMP and its customers.

Recently, Standard Motor Products has broadened its offerings to include new applications for millions of late-model vehicles. Newly added models encompass popular vehicles from Ford, including the 2023-22 Escape, Bronco Sport, and Maverick, alongside 2024-23 versions of Super Duty trucks. The expansion also includes the 2024-22 Jeep Grand Cherokee, the 2024-22 Ram ProMaster, and several models from Mercedes-Benz and Subaru extending through 2024. Moreover, new options for popular brands such as Mazda, Audi, Volkswagen, and General Motors have been integrated into the program.

John Herc, Vice President of Vehicle Control Marketing at SMP, emphasized the comprehensive nature of their Parking Brake Actuator program. “Our program is unparalleled in the automotive industry, not only providing extensive coverage but also offering our partners training, marketing resources, and vital insights to leverage the growth in this market segment,” he stated.

The Standard® Parking Brake Actuator offerings can be conveniently accessed in their catalog, available at StandardBrand.com, as well as through various electronic catalog platforms used by dealerships and repair shops.
