NEW
YORK, June 28, 2023 /PRNewswire/ -- Standard
Motor Products, Inc. (SMP) continues to add to its Variable Valve
Timing (VVT) program, which already includes more than 550 part
numbers for import and domestic vehicles. When the OE fails,
technicians trust Standard® and Blue Streak® to deliver precision
components that integrate with complex VVT systems.
Recently released Standard® VVT Sprockets
are now available for another 8.8 million vehicles.
To improve fuel economy and reduce emissions, automakers have
rapidly implemented Variable Valve Timing technology. In 2005, less
than half of all new vehicles utilized VVT technology. By 2010, 84%
of new vehicles were equipped with Variable Valve Timing. This
means that VVT-equipped vehicles are aging and will represent more
service opportunities. Standard's VVT program helps technicians
correctly repair and maintain these complex systems. The Standard®
VVT Program features Sprockets, Solenoids, Oil Control Valves, and
Blue Streak® VVT Service Kits, as well as related parts like VVT
Spool Filters, Chain Tensioner Kits, Adjuster Magnets and more.
Recently released Standard® VVT Sprockets are now available for
another 8.8 million vehicles. This new coverage includes popular
applications like the 2020-15 Nissan Pathfinder, 2021-20 Chevrolet
Silverado, 2021 Ford F-150, and 2020-15 Hyundai Tucson. New
Standard® VVT Solenoids are also available for many Honda, Acura,
Porsche, and Land Rover vehicles. This coverage includes the
2015-13 Acura RDX, 2016-08 Honda Odyssey, and 2020-18 Land Rover
Evoque. Additionally, to further round out the program, 11 Oil
Control Valves have recently been released, introducing new
coverage for over 5 million Toyota vehicles including the 2022-18
Camry and 2021-16 Tacoma.
John Herc, Vice President Vehicle
Control Marketing, SMP®, stated, "Our VVT Program is the most
comprehensive in the aftermarket, providing our partners with the
most popular components and a complete line for full coverage.
