Standard Motor Products Unveils Extensive New Parts Lineup for 2024

Standard Motor Products, Inc. (SMP) has made a significant addition to its offerings in 2024 by releasing a remarkable total of 2,367 new part numbers. This expansion comes in response to the current automotive market's demand for comprehensive parts coverage in both import and domestic vehicles. Notably, these new releases encompass products from SMP's accomplished Vehicle Control and Temperature Control divisions.

SMP's commitment to staying at the forefront of technology is highlighted by its ongoing focus on advanced internal combustion engines (ICE). One of the standout features of this year’s release is the expansion of the Standard® Gas Fuel Injection program. It introduces ten new Direct Injection High-Pressure Fuel Pumps that support an impressive 2.5 million vehicles across both import and domestic categories. This is complemented by the addition of GDI High-Pressure Fuel Pump Kits, specifically designed for a range of GM cars and SUVs. Furthermore, the company announced the introduction of 31 new Gasoline Direct Injection (GDI) and Multi-Port Fuel Injection (MFI) Fuel Injectors, ensuring optimized fuel delivery for modern vehicles.

In addition to fuel injection, SMP continues to enhance its Turbocharger program. This year saw the addition of several new Turbocharger Kits alongside various essential components such as intercoolers, bypass valves, and wastegate solenoids. These enhancements are critical as the automotive industry shifts towards more power-efficient and performance-oriented systems.

Emission control continues to be a complex area within the automotive landscape. SMP has risen to this challenge with expansive additions to its emissions control lineup, notably within its evaporative emission, exhaust gas recirculation, and crankcase emission product categories. The company has introduced multiple new canister purge solenoids and valves, as well as over 30 new EGR tubes. To address the needs of approximately 14 million vehicles, they have also added engine crankcase breather hoses and fuel vapor canisters for popular makes such as Ford, Toyota, Chrysler, and Lexus.

SMP also emphasizes its forward-thinking approach by releasing a variety of powertrain-neutral components that bolster vehicle safety and performance. Specifically, the company added 72 ABS Speed Sensors to its inventory and significantly expanded its Advanced Driver Assistance Systems (ADAS) offerings with 53 new Park Assist Cameras and 76 Park Assist Sensors. These components cover millions of late-model vehicles, enhancing safety and driving experience through advanced technology.

Furthermore, the new Electronic Parking Brake Actuators released can cater to over 13 million vehicles, including popular models like the 2023-19 Mazda 3, and various Ford Heavy Duty trucks and Jeep SUVs.

Alongside these innovations, Four Seasons®, another brand under SMP, introduced comprehensive new coverage that includes hose assemblies for a multitude of import and domestic vehicles. The updated coverage also highlights new compressors, specifically for vehicles like the 2023-22 Hyundai Elantra. Significantly, their Electric Coolant Pumps have expanded coverage to hybrid and electric vehicles, catering to models including the 2016-2022 Lexus RX450h and the 2019-2017 Toyota Highlander. Additionally, the Air Door Actuator program has seen numerous new part numbers added, covering a range of brands from Ford to Toyota.

Jack Ramsey, Senior Vice President of Sales and Marketing at SMP, expressed pride in the growth of both divisions, stating, "We are proud of the expansion displayed by both divisions in 2024.
