A vehicle, a running board assembly, and a drive assembly for a running board are disclosed. The drive assembly includes: a mounting base, a first connecting portion, a second connecting portion, and a running board holder. The first connecting portion is rotatably connected with the mounting base and the running board holder. The second connecting portion is rotatably connected with the mounting base and the running board holder. The running board holder includes a third main body and a third hinged portion. The first connecting portion includes a first main body and a plurality of first hinged portions, and the third hinged portion is rotatably connected among the plurality of first hinged portions; and/or the second connecting portion includes a second main body and a plurality of second hinged portions, the third hinged portion being rotatably connected among the plurality of second hinged portions.

A agricultural vehicle includes a step assembly having a step and a tank that is movably mounted to the step. The step has a flat and horizontally oriented top side and an angled side extending from the top side. The tank is movably mounted to the step and is configured to move between a stowed position and a deployed position. In the stowed position of the tank, a first side of the tank is aligned with and parallel to the angled side to form a continuous angled surface. In the deployed position of the tank, a second side of the tank is aligned with and parallel to the top side to form a continuous horizontal step surface.

A side step assembly includes a side step assembly including a step body having an elongated length that extends in a vehicle longitudinal direction. The step body includes a first elongated body part having a first exterior facing surface that defines a stepping area and a second elongated body part having a second exterior facing surface that faces away from the first exterior surface. The first and second elongated body parts being formed as separate parts and connected together forming a divide that extends the elongated length of the step body.

The modular vehicle running board, subject matter of the invention, comprises a profile (10) provided with projections (12) and cavities (14) and (15) for the modular arrangement of assembly components and trims (20), (40) and (41), allowing the arrangement of lighting points (36) and the attachment of a non-slip step (30), in order to optimize the assembly system and allow greater product variability in a single profile/chassis. The result is a modular vehicle running board endowed with new constructive characteristics facilitating manufacture and adaptation in different models.

A vehicle running board includes opposing vertical walls extending along a length of a tubular structure and including a carbon-fiber component. Opposing horizontal walls extend between the opposing vertical walls and include a glass component. The opposing vertical and opposing horizontal walls form the tubular structure having a generally rectilinear cross section. A polymer outer covering extends over the opposing vertical and opposing horizontal walls.

A retractable step and side bar assembly that can be used for raised vehicles, such as trucks. The retractable step can be configured to provide for significant reach in a deployed position to allow for a user to enter the raised vehicle. Further, in the stowed position the retractable step can be located within the side bar, thereby providing a low profile as well as an enhanced aesthetic appearance.

A coaxial rotating automated stepping surface assembly adapted for a vehicle, including, at least one stepping surface portion, single pivot axis, coaxial motor arrangement to pivot axis, and complete system packaging out board of sill structure. The motor is a non back-drivable motor and is capable of operably self-locking in predetermined positions.

A side step assembly can be installed on a side-by-side all-terrain vehicle. The side step kit can include a vehicle step stay and a side step cover. The vehicle step stay can include a first stay member and a second stay member. The first stay member can be configured to be attached onto a frame assembly of the vehicle. The second stay member can be configured to be attached to the first stay member and onto the frame assembly. The side step cover can be supported by the vehicle step stay when the vehicle step stay is connected to the frame assembly and the side step cover is mounted on the vehicle step stay. The side step cover can include a tread surface extending above and along the first stay member when the side step cover is mounted on the vehicle step stay.

The present disclosure relate to a vehicle running board apparatus and a retractable device thereof. In some embodiments, a retractable device includes a running board holder and an arm assembly. The running board holder has a connecting portion, and the arm assembly is configured to drive the running board holder to move between an extended position and a retracted position. The arm assembly includes a first arm and a second arm. The first arm has a first end and a second end. The second end of the first arm is pivotally connected to the connecting portion of the running board holder. The second arm has a first end and a second end. The second end of the second arm is pivotally connected to the connecting portion of the running board holder. The second end of at least one of the first arm or the second arm straddles the connecting portion.
