A method for forming an integrated structural system for a vehicle is provided. The method including the steps of: securing a first beam component to a structural member by a molding process, the first beam component being molded from a first amount of thermoplastic material, the structural member being formed from a material different than the first amount of thermoplastic material; and securing a second beam component to the first beam component, the second beam component being separately molded from a second amount of thermoplastic material, the second beam component having a configuration different from the first beam component.

An integrated structural system for a vehicle is provided. The integrated structural system includes a molded duct system configured to guide airflow having a first section and a second section and configured to operably attach a vehicle component thereto. The integrated structural system also includes a metal structure integrated with the molded duct system by means for integrating the metal structure with the molded duct system forming an integrated structural load path assembly. The integrated structural load path assembly is configured as a load bearing area to distribute a load of the vehicle component operably attached thereto. The means for integrating the metal structure with said molded duct system include, but not limited to, at least one of, sonic welding, heat staking, insert molding, and gluing.
