Zusammenfassung:	The present invention relates to a self-supporting carrier structure (14) for an instrument panel (10) in a vehicle (12), comprising a network (23) of a plurality of first hollow support elements (24), and of second hollow support elements (26) and/or solid support elements (28) arranged according to the results of a load path analysis, wherein that the first hollow support elements (24) form at least one manifold (30) used as an air duct comprising at least one air inlet (38) for introducing air into the hollow support elements (12) and at least one air outlet (40) for guiding the air into a passenger compartment (44) of a vehicle (12), and the first hollow support elements (24), the second hollow support elements (26) and/or the solid support elements (28) serve for supporting at least one vehicle component (19) arranged in or on the instrument panel (10), wherein at least some of the second hollow support elements (26) and/or at least some of the solid support elements (28) are arranged such that they form an intersection (34) in which the second hollow support elements (26) or the solid support elements (28) penetrate the first hollow support elements (24), or a fusion section (48) in which the second hollow support elements (26) or the solid support elements (28) merge with the first hollow support elements (24). Further, the present invention relates to an instrument panel (10) comprising such a carrier structure (14), a vehicle (12) equipped with such an instrument panel (10) and a process for manufacturing such a carrier structure (10).
