SEMA this week announced two additions to the list of vehicles they would like to borrow from private owners for the Emission Testing program at SEMA Garage (Diamond Bar, California).

The automotive aftermarket industry trade group says they are interested in hearing from owners of the following vehicles:

  • 2017 Ford F-150 5.0L
  • 2015 Ford F-150 3.5L EcoBoost
  • 2010 Chevrolet Camaro 6.2L

Owners who lend their vehicles to SEMA for what the association describes as “short-term” testing can receive either monetary compensation or free products.

The Ford F-150 and Chevy Camaro models listed above are just three of a list of nearly 40 vehicles that the organization seeks to borrow for emission testing at SEMA Garage.

To review the full list, visit the Vehicle Testing Program page on the SEMA Garage website.

SEMA Garage is a 15,000 square foot facility designed to give “SEMA member businesses access to the special high-tech tools and equipment they need to get their products — whether a $10 set of replacement wiper blades or a $10,000 engine modification — off the drawing board and into customer hands,” according to the website.

Beyond the Emission Testing program, SEMA Garage offers a range of other services including:

  • “Tech Transfer,” which provides SEMA members with access to CAD files from OEMs, reducing the need for aftermarket suppliers to perform reverse engineering as part of their product development processes
  • Custom 3D scanning Services to provide aftermarket manufacturers with advanced product design resources
  • 3D printing and prototyping
  • A training center that enables member aftermarket manufacturers to host product reveals or training sessions for professionals in potential distribution channels for their products, such as automotive parts retailers, repair shops, or customization specialists
