Step tread holder assembly and an associated vehicle

Abstract

A step tread holder assembly for vehicles includes a step tread which can be attached to a vehicle structure of the vehicle. The assembly also includes at least one bearing unit for attaching the step tread to the vehicle structure, the bearing unit being designed in such a way that in the event of a crash the step tread can be moved relative to the vehicle structure and/or can be partly or completely detached from the vehicle structure by a motion guiding element for influencing a path of movement of the step tread relative to the vehicle structure in the event of a crash. The bearing unit has at least one front holder which is positioned on the vehicle structure in an outer area of the vehicle, and at least one rear holder which is positioned on the vehicle structure in an inner area of the vehicle.
