Abstract

In a fuel cell equipped vehicle (10), hydrogen cylinders (18) storing hydrogen gas to be supplied to a fuel cell battery (30), a fuel cell (30), fuel cell accessories (31), a storage battery (40), and a PCU (50) that controls the supply of electric power from the fuel cell (30) and the storage battery (40) to a front wheels-driving electric motor (14) and a rear wheels-driving electric motor (16) are arranged in that order under a floor of a passenger compartment (R1). Therefore, these major component devices do not reduce the spaces of a passenger compartment (R1), a forward compartment (R2), and a rearward compartment (R3). Since the component devices disposed under the floor of the passenger compartment (R1) have relatively great weights, the center of gravity of the vehicle comes to a low position in a central portion of the vehicle, thus achieving good running stability of the vehicle.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to a vehicle equipped with a fuel cell. Background technique [0002] There have been proposed various vehicles equipped with fuel cells in which reduction of the cabin space is avoided or minimized by rationally arranging the fuel cells. For example, Japanese Patent Application Unexamined Publication No. 2001-268720 proposes a combination of a fuel cell, a hydrogen storage alloy tank, a fuel cell accessory (attachment), and a compartment floor in which the battery is arranged next to each other in the horizontal direction between the front and rear wheels. vehicles below. [0003] However, Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 2001-268720 does not consider where to arrange a power control device (also referred to as "power control device") for using power from a fuel cell or from a storage battery The electric power that propels the vehicle drives the electric motor (motor), and uses power from the fuel cell to charge the b...
