Dayco is adding 55 new parts to its portfolio of products—with parts available for order beginning this month.
The new product introductions (NPIs) include 41 new branched and quick connect hoses, covering primarily medium- and heavy-duty vehicle applications, 11 new water pumps and 3 new serpentine belt kit part numbers that allow Dayco to provide expanded coverage for millions of vehicles on the road.
For the past 18 months, Dayco’s product management team has significantly transformed its hose product line following a detailed evaluation of more than 3,000 part numbers, adding new numbers with exact fitment and redesigning old hose applications when necessary. Dayco hoses—which are designed to meet or exceed all relevant OE and SAE standards—feature spiral reinforcement for high burst strength and excellent heat resistance. They are engineered to handle exposure to oil, mud, salt, road debris, ozone, coolants and temperature variations. More information on Dayco’s hose line can be found here.
The 11 new Dayco water pump SKUs being introduced will cover 22 million light-duty vehicles on the road. With single source manufacturing, Dayco water pumps are 100% end of the line leak tested and are backed by an industry-leading warranty. More information on Dayco water pumps can be found here.
Expanding serpentine belt kits
Dayco’s serpentine belt kit line is also expanding as the company continues developing innovative system solutions and recommending all drive system components be changed at the same time to improve performance and reduce comebacks. Coverage for over 3 million VIO was added in February and an additional 2+ million VIO will be covered with the three new kits. Dayco serpentine belt kits make the installation process easy since every part that technicians need to do the job right the first time is included in each kit.
“We have continued to evolve our line review process to assure that we efficiently bring to market products the industry needs based on real data and input from the field,” said Jerry Reeves, Manager of Product Management for Dayco North America. “This is just an example of the type of expansions you’ll continue to see from the Dayco team.”
