IF IT DOESN'T SAY "AMP RESEARCH," IT ISN'T ONE.
AMP Research invented the power deploying running board, so don't be fooled, There is only one PowerStep and it has the AMP Research name on it.
GETTING INTO YOUR TRUCK SHOULDN'T FEEL LIKE CLIMBING MOUNT EVEREST.
Which is why AMP Research created the PowerStep, the automatic, electric-powered running board that instantly extends when you open your door, and then tucks itself back safely under the chassis when the doors close. When retracted, the PowerStep is essentially hidden underneath your vehicle for improved ground clearance, aerodynamics and appearance. And when extended, it provides a sure, solid, high-traction leg up for you and all your passengers, large or small. Stop climbing. And start stepping up, with the AMP Research PowerStep.

AMP RESEARCH AUTOMOTIVE INNOVATIONS
AMP RESEARCH BED X-TENDER
In 1998 AMP Research turned its primary focus to the automotive world. The AMP Research Bed X-Tender for pickup trucks is a construction of tubular aluminum and glass reinforced resin connectors which extends the cargo area of the bed over the folded down tailgate, letting owners fully utilize the space created with the tailgate in the horizontal positions. The Bed X-Tender can be flipped forward for compartmentalized storage when the gate is up, and can also be removed for carrying larger cargo items. 2009 saw the introduction of the AMP Research Moto X Tender, with a unique slant-back design, which allows more room in compact pickups for motorcycles, ATVs and other longer cargo.
ALLOY FUEL-FILLER DOORS
AMP Leitner develops a competition style aluminum fuel filler door for OEM use on the Mitsubishi Eclipse, an innovation that was also used by Ford on the Bullit Mustang, Hummer H2, Dodge Challenger, Ram, Jeep Wrangler, Mazda MX5, and Hyundai, Kia Soul.
AMP RESEARCH POWERSTEP - POWER-DEPLOYING RUNNING BOARDS
The AMP Power Step provides a running board step for light trucks and SUVs that retracts and extends automatically, using a patented, kinematically engineered linkage and electric motor. The AMP Power Step extends when any vehicle door is opened, and retracts under the vehicle, for added ground clearance and reduced aerodynamic drag, when the doors are closed. By 2010, over 30,000 Power Step systems had been sold, both as line installed OEM components on Ford and GM vehicles and through multi step distribution in the automotive aftermarket under the AMP Research brand.
AMP RESEARCH BEDSTEP
To make climbing into the bed of a pickup easier, Leitner invented the BedStep, a clever footstep mounted to the bumper frame attachments at the rear corner of the vehicle that can be extended down with the flip of a toe to facilitate climbing up into or down from the pickup bed, and which retracts under the rear bumper, nearly out of sight, after use.
Since 2000, AMP Research has been located in its own 40,000 square foot engineering, R&D, administration and manufacturing facility in Irvine, California.
As of January, 2010, Horst Leitner and AMP Research hold 45 US and international patents for automotive, motorcycle, bicycle and other inventions.
