July 28, 2004
The invention relates to a pedal arrangement (1) for a vehicle, comprising a pedal arm (2) being pivotally arranged in a pedal bracket structure (6, 7) which defines a pivoting axis (3) for said pedal arm (2) and which is adapted to be fixedly mounted in said vehicle, and a stop element (14) mounted on said pedal arm (2) so that it faces the rear direction of said vehicle. The stop element (14) is mounted on the pedal arm (2) at a position chosen so that, in the event of a collision, said stop element (14) comes into contact with an existing beam structure (13) extending generally transversally in said vehicle. The invention also relates to a vehicle comprising a pedal arrangement (1) of the above-mentioned type. By means of the invention, an improved pedal arrangement is provided, which reduces the risk for injury to the driver's feet.
