Electric Steps for Passenger Vans/MPVs

-- Steady & Reliable Manufacturer --

Technical Overview

Electric steps designed for passenger vans and MPVs (Multi-Purpose Vehicles) prioritize low entry height and wide platform accessibility. The system is engineered to provide a low-profile step-down, significantly reducing the vertical travel required for entry/exit, essential for family and commercial transport. The motor and linkage are optimized for high-frequency usage cycles, characteristic of vans used for ride-sharing or shuttling.

The control unit features Time-Delay Retraction Logic to ensure the step remains deployed until all passengers have exited/entered the often multiple side doors. The platform length is customized to cover the span of the sliding side door opening.

Introduction

Passenger vans and MPVs are utility vehicles where ease of access is a fundamental requirement. Our electric steps transform these vehicles, providing an essential, ground-level intermediate step that greatly enhances passenger safety and convenience, especially for children, seniors, or individuals with mobility challenges.

Bohai Automotive Technology Co., Ltd. designs these steps with commercial durability in mind. We understand the necessity of reliable operation under constant, high-volume use. Our focus is on robust mechanics and safety-centric electronic features.

Applications

  • Commercial Shuttles/Taxis: Used in high-cycle, professional transport environments to improve passenger turnover and safety.

  • Family Vans and MPVs: Providing easier, safer access for children and elderly passengers.

  • Mobility Conversions: An essential component in vehicles adapted for non-wheelchair mobility challenges, bridging the gap to the cabin.

  • Logistics and Delivery Vehicles: Installed to improve the efficiency and reduce strain on drivers making frequent deliveries.

Common Questions

  • Q: Is the high-cycle motor replacement process complicated?
  • A: No. The motor unit is designed as a modular, bolt-on component. This allows for quick, simple replacement with minimal vehicle downtime, essential for commercial fleets.
  • Q: How does the system handle the simultaneous opening of multiple side doors?
  • A: The ECU is programmed to detect all relevant door signals. The step will deploy upon the first door opening and will only retract once all monitored doors are fully closed and the programmed time delay has elapsed.
  • Q: Is the step material resistant to heavy cleaning and passenger scuffing?
  • A: Yes. The step platform is typically a robust aluminum extrusion with a textured, industrial-grade coating, highly resistant to constant abrasion from footwear and standard commercial cleaning solvents.

Core Features

  • High-Cycle Durability: Mechanical components and the motor unit are designed and tested for constant, repeated use, far exceeding the requirements of typical personal vehicles.

  • Optimized Step-Down: Engineered to achieve the lowest possible step height relative to the ground, significantly improving ease of entry.

  • Delayed Retraction Safety: The system maintains deployment for a set time after the door is closed, ensuring passengers are safely clear before the step retracts.

  • Wide Platform Utility: Steps are designed to be wider than SUV counterparts, providing a larger, more forgiving landing surface.

Manufacturing & Customization

Production focuses on Continuous Operational Testing where sample motors and linkages are run through accelerated life cycle tests to verify the 150,000+ cycle rating. We employ Ergonomic CAD Analysis to optimize the step-down height for maximum passenger comfort.

Customization Opportunities: Focused on commercial and safety requirements:

  • High-Visibility Edging: Integrating a durable, yellow or high-contrast polymer strip along the step edge for enhanced visibility and safety.

  • Custom Lengths: Manufacturing steps to non-standard lengths to fit modified or stretched van chassis.

  • Fleet Management Integration: Providing an optional output signal from the ECU for integration into commercial fleet tracking and maintenance logging systems.

Product Display

Material Selection

Structural Aluminum Extrusion (6063-T5) is used for the step platform, chosen for its strength and ability to be extruded into a wide, low-profile shape.

Linkage and brackets utilize High-Strength Steel with an Industrial-Grade Epoxy Powder Coat finish, specified for chip resistance and longevity in commercial environments.

All wiring harnesses feature Abrasion-Resistant PVC or TPE Jacketing to protect against wear from the sliding door mechanism and constant vibration.
