Standard Motor Products Expands Evaporative Emissions Program

Key Takeaways

• The Standard® Evaporative Emissions program leads the aftermarket with more than 1,150 precision-engineered components across multiple categories
• Stricter emission guidelines are leading to an increase in EVAP-related check engine lights and service opportunities
• Most Standard® evaporative emission control components are manufactured in SMP's North American facilities located South Carolina, Kansas and Mexico

NEW YORK, Jan. 13, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Standard Motor Products, Inc. (SMP) continues to expand its comprehensive Evaporative Emissions (EVAP) program. The Standard® EVAP program is the most complete in the industry with more than 1,150 part numbers, from the most popular Canister Purge Solenoids to Canister Purge Hoses.

As a result of tighter evaporative emissions standards, vehicle manufacturers have been required to improve leak detection systems. Additionally, the government has lowered the allowance of hydrocarbons that can be emitted before a check engine light is illuminated. These regulations are driving significant growth in EVAP component sales, making precision manufacturing and rigorous testing more critical than ever. The aftermarket can anticipate rising demand across a broader range of components, including canister purge hoses. The Standard® line of Canister Purge Hoses has aggressively expanded to meet this demand, with late-model coverage added for popular applications like 2025-19 General Motors trucks, 2023-18 Ford vans and more.

Nearly 80% of Standard® EVAP components are manufactured in SMP's North American facilities in Greenville, South Carolina, Independence, Kansas, and Reynosa, Mexico. Each component is precision-engineered and tested for durability and OE-matching performance. To ensure trouble-free operation, components must pass multiple comprehensive quality tests. Additionally, to ensure these components seamlessly integrate with the more complex EVAP systems of modern vehicles, they undergo a detailed on-vehicle testing procedure at SMP's Vehicle Testing Center in Irving, Texas.

Standard's EVAP program includes Canister Purge Valves and Solenoids, Canister Vent Valves and Solenoids, Fuel Vapor Canisters, Fuel Vapor Leak Detection Pumps, Vapor Canister Purge Pumps, Vapor Canister Purge Valve Hoses and Vent Hoses, and more. The Standard® EVAP Program is part of a larger, complete Emission Control Program, which includes crankcase ventilation, exhaust gas recirculation, and diesel emission components.

John Herc, Vice President of Vehicle Control Marketing at SMP, stated, "Our complete EVAP Program is a single-source solution for our distribution partners. The Standard® program is unmatched for its industry-leading coverage, and we engineer and test each component to ensure that professional technicians feel confident installing Standard® EVAP components."

All Standard® evaporative emission control applications are listed in the catalog found at StandardBrand.com and in electronic catalog providers.
