A moulded structural component for the cabin of a passenger vehicle is provided, with a lateral wall 111 facing an open rear end 141 of the structural component and spaced therefrom along a principal axis P, opposing first and second sidewalls 121, 131 extending from lateral wall 111 towards rear end 141, and a floor 140 extending between lateral wall 111 and sidewalls 121, 131 towards rear end 141. Lateral wall 111, sidewalls 121, 131 and floor 140 are integral and define an interior space for housing one or more passengers. The distance between interior side faces of sidewalls 121, 131 is substantially constant or increases from lateral wall 111 towards open rear end 141 along principal axis P so that the structural component may be demoulded from a rigid tool of a moulding apparatus along a direction within 20° of principal axis P. The structural component may be of fibreglass. A cabin, moulding method and alternate structural components are also provided.
