To participate in the In-Use Verification Program, your car must meet one of these basic requirements:
To show our appreciation, participating owners will be offered the following incentives: 01 - Porsche monetary voucher upon completion 02 - Unlimited use of a comparable Porsche vehicle 03 - Loaner tank full on arrival 04 - Exterior hand wash for your vehicle 05 - Inspection of engine exhaust components
This government mandated testing for all manufacturers involves the inspection and testing of your vehicle’s powertrain and emission-related components.
Procurement/Vehicle Exchange of vehicles occur in California, Colorado, and Michigan. Once vehicles are procured, they are safely and securely transported to the local contracted labs. The labs are located in Oxnard, CA, Aurora, CO, and Plymouth, MI.
Your vehicle will be handled with the utmost care and respect, and returned to you as quickly as possible. Participating vehicles are tested by our engineers to evaluate the effectiveness of your vehicle’s emissions systems.
We simulate typical driving conditions in order to collect data about the emissions of your vehicle.
Exhaust testing allows us to monitor emissions produced as a result of specific driving conditions. We place your vehicle on dynamometer (vehicle treadmill), connect a special hose to the exhaust, and monitor the following scenarios.
For evaporative testing, we simulate two scenarios: Sealed Housing Evaporative Determination (SHED) and On-board Refueling Vapor Recovery (ORVR)
SHED - The vehicle is placed in an enclosure chamber where the temperature is varied to measure the level of vapors that are coming from the vehicle and its components
ORVR - In the refueling scenario, the vehicle is placed in an enclosure called the On-board Refueling Vapor Recovery (ORVR) chamber, to measure the vapors released during the refueling process
The Porsche Loyalty voucher will be emailed to you when your vehicle is returned after testing.
The information from IUVP testing is provided to the EPA and CARB. The results are used to confirm vehicle emissions are performing as expected
If you are interested in purchasing a loaner vehicle, we can provide contacts for purchasing vehicles.
We will remain in contact with you through the entire process. If you have additional questions, please reach out to the contact on your reply card or email at IUVP@Porsche.us
On average, standard (City, Highway, and Supplemental FTP) takes about 2-3 weeks. Standard plus evaporative testing (2-Day SHED and ORVR) takes about 4-5 weeks.
