Abstract: A carrier apparatus for a vehicle is disposed on a bumper back beam in the rear part of a vehicle. The carrier apparatus normally is not exposed externally, and is withdrawn from the bumper back beam such that a bicycle can be loaded thereon when the bicycle is required to be loaded. It is thereby possible to preserve a vehicle's aesthetic exterior appearance and improve convenience. When the carrier is withdrawn, the license plate and the fixing bar rotate in concert with each other. When the carrier is retracted, the fixing bar and the license plate are folded together. Consequently, convenience is further increased, thereby improving the marketability of the carrier apparatus.

Abstract: A method of making a side step of a vehicle includes a bracket that is mounted to a vehicle body and an insert main body that bears weight of passengers. The bracket and the insert main body are integrally provided by using a CFT material through insert-molding, and an injection molding resin is coupled to all over the insert main body where the bracket is coupled through insert-molding so as to form a main frame of the side step.

Abstract: A bicycle carrier system for vehicles may include guide rails provided on a bumper back beam, a carrier device connected to the guide rails and configured to slide along the guide rails to be withdrawn from and received in the bumper back beam, a first driving device disposed on the carrier device and connected to the guide rails to move the carrier device along the guide rails, tilting devices configured to selectively connect the guide rails and the carrier device to each other and to release connection between the guide rails and the carrier device so as to tilt the carrier device from the guide rails when the carrier device is moved to a designated level or higher during withdrawal of the carrier device according to operation of the first driving device, and a communication control module.
