Abstract:
An ECU of a fuel cell vehicle determines whether the vehicle travels on an uphill road or not. When determining that the vehicle travels on the uphill road, the ECU performs at least one of a temperature reduction control for reducing the temperature of a fuel cell stack and a humidification control for increasing the water content of the fuel cell stack, by the time the vehicle reaches the uphill road.
