Abstract:
A fuel cell vehicle includes: a fuel cell stack for generating electric power by receiving supply of a reaction gas; a humidifying device for delivering an oxidizing off-gas discharged from the fuel cell stack and an oxidizing gas with a water vapor permeable membrane interposed therebetween, and thereby carrying out a moisture exchange between the oxidizing off-gas and the oxidizing gas; and a discharge flow passage for discharging the oxidizing off-gas discharged from the humidifying device to an outside of the vehicle. An oxidizing off-gas outlet that opens toward a front side of the vehicle is formed in the humidifying device. The discharge flow passage is connected to the oxidizing off-gas outlet and is bent in an approximate U shape from a front side of the vehicle to a back side of the vehicle.
