It is an object of the invention is a fuel
cell system architecture provides a good
weight distribution, improved
trunk space without reducing the security against front-end and
rear end collision. The above objective is accomplished by a fuel
cell vehicle comprising:—A rear vessel for
hydrogen gas located in the rear part of the vehicle,—A front vessel for
hydrogen gas located in the front part of the vehicle,—A
hydrogen dosing unit,—A hydrogen
control unit connected to the hydrogen dosing unit, to the rear vessel and to the front vessel, the hydrogen
control unit being provided with first means for equalizing the pressure between the first rear vessel and the front vessel, the hydrogen
control unit being provided with second means for transferring hydrogen at a predetermined
pressure level to the hydrogen dosing unit from the two vessels,—An air supply,—A fuel
cell connected to the hydrogen dosing unit and the air supply, the air supply being provided with means for providing the fuel cell with air, the hydrogen dosing unit providing the fuel cell with hydrogen,—A battery,—A DC / DC-converter,—The fuel cell being connected to the battery so as to provide the battery with energy, the battery and the DC / DC-converter being interconnected so as to exchange energy, the fuel cell and the battery, being located at the bottom of the vehicle.
