Abstract

A structural component for a motor vehicle is provided. The structural component includes a closed hollow profile including fiber composite material, with a profile outer casing surrounding a profile volume. The structural component also includes at least one reinforcing bulkhead which is arranged in the profile volume on at least one section of an inner casing surface of the profile outer casing. The height of the at least one reinforcing bulkhead, perpendicularly from the inner casing surface, in at least one position in which the at least one reinforcing bulkhead is arranged on the inner casing surface, is lower than a passage height of the profile volume in this position.
