A moulded motor vehicle floor 101 with an integral seat attachment point 111. Floor 101 may further comprise a heating, ventilation and air-conditioning (HVAC) duct 123 formed integral to floor 101, with duct 123 comprising a wall 131 that may be fluidly connected with the HVAC system. Floor 101 may be laminated, and have a lower surface 120 that forms at least a portion of a vehicle’s underbody, and an upper surface that forms part of the interior trim of a vehicle. Floor 101 can have vehicle attachment point 117 that, together with seat attachment point 111, forms part of a path that takes the brunt of the force during a crash. A vehicle is assembled by selecting a floor from a kit 133 of floors (101a, 101b, Figure 4), each with integral attachment point arrangements (111a, 111b, Figure 4), depending on the desired use of the motor vehicle.
