Patent attributes
A fuel cell electric vehicle includes a driving motor, a fuel cell and first and second supply/discharge manifolds. The driving motor is disposed between a pair of wheels. The fuel cell is disposed above the driving motor and has a plurality of unit cells stacked in a vertical direction of a vehicle. The fuel cell includes a plurality of through-manifolds configured and arranged to distribute a fuel gas, an oxidizing gas and a coolant to the unit cells. The first and second supply/discharge manifolds are disposed adjacent to first and second lateral end portions of the driving motor, respectively, with respect to a lateral direction of the vehicle. The first and second supply/discharge manifolds include a plurality of fluid connection ports for transporting the fuel gas, the oxidizing gas and the coolant at positions that substantially overlap with positions of the through-manifolds.
