Abstract

A hollow body composite component is produced by a method using an injection mold, wherein a cavity of the injection mold is filled at least partially with a flowable material by injection of the flowable material, and a mandrel is driven through the flowable material to form a hollow body. Using the mandrel, at least one strip-shaped reinforcing element is introduced into a hollow body interior and is arranged on a surface of the hollow body facing the hollow body interior.
