Legend Fleet Solutions has introduced the Upstep RS3 retracting side step for commercial vans. The announcement was made at this year’s Work Truck Show.
According to the company, this side step mechanically retracts as the door opens and closes.
Legend explained in a press release: “Why does this matter? Not only does it prevent any damage to the step (standard fixed steps can crush on impact), it requires no further electricity from the vehicle like (unlike electric steps) preserving EV battery range.”
The company says the step was tested in “the harshest winters of Europe and North America,” and is produced in North America.
