Abstract
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.
