A cross member for an automotive chassis structure includes a first portion and a second portion. The first portion extends along a longitudinal axis, and includes a generally U-shaped cross section perpendicular to the longitudinal axis. The second portion extends along the longitudinal axis, and includes a generally inverted U-shaped cross section perpendicular to the longitudinal axis. The first portion and the second portion are attached together to define a tubular structure that extends along the longitudinal axis, and defines a hollow interior region. The first portion and the second portion each include and are manufactured from a thermoplastic material reinforced with carbon fiber.
