The invention relates to a structural component for a motor vehicle, especially a stretcher to be used in the driver's compartment. The structural component () is configured as a lightweight component that comprises a shell-shaped base () and plastic reinforcement ribs () molded onto said base. The aim of the invention is to provide an improved structural component that has the advantages of a lightweight component while being capable of fulfilling other functions in addition to its structural function. To this end, at least one channel () is completely or partially injection-molded into the interior () of the base () along with the reinforcement ribs ().

Structural component for a motor vehicle

The invention relates to a component, in particular a crossmember for arranging between A-pillars of a motor vehicle, having an essentially tubular base body in which at least one duct is provided. In order to provide an improved lightweight component which can be produced in a more simple manner using fewer working steps and therefore more cost-effectively and in which, in an advantageous manner, a duct can be integrated, it is proposed that the base body is lined on the inside with plastic in order to form duct walls consisting of plastic. The component according to the invention is used as a dashboard support in a motor vehicle.

Structural part for a motor vehicle

Disclosed is a component in a hybrid construction, in particular a cross member for arranging between A-pillars of a motor vehicle, having a shell-shaped base body which is stiffened by plastic reinforcing ribs and in which at least one duct is provided. In order to be able to integrate a duct in an advantageous manner, it is proposed that the duct is formed at least in some areas from a plastic shell which is injected together with the reinforcing ribs, extends in the longitudinal direction of the component and can be closed by means of a cover so as to form the duct. The component according to the invention is used as a dashboard support in a motor vehicle.

Component for a motor vehicle

A cross member in a hybrid motor vehicle construction is arranged between A-columns of a motor vehicle. The cross member has a basic body which is widened in a center area at least on one side and is designed as part of a housing of a heating and/or air conditioning system.
