Abstract

A vehicle system includes a fuel cell system, a battery, a drive device that operates with power, a load different from the drive device, a positional information acquisition unit, a traveling route setting unit, and a control device configured to control power to be supplied to the load from the fuel cell system and the battery based on positional information acquired by the positional information acquisition unit and a traveling route set by the traveling route setting unit.

Claims (16)

1. A vehicle system comprising:

a fuel cell system;

a battery;

a drive device that operates with power;

a load different from the drive device;

a positional information acquisition unit;

and

a control device configured to control power to be supplied to the load from the fuel cell system and the battery based on positional information acquired by the positional information acquisition unit and a determined traveling route,

wherein a route is set as an urban route where the determined traveling route repeats driving and parking more than a predetermined number of times,

a non-urban route is set as a route where the determined traveling route repeats driving and parking less than the predetermined number of times,

wherein the vehicle system further comprising a battery temperature information acquisition unit configured to acquire temperature information of the battery,

wherein when an urban route is set, and a temperature of the battery acquired by the battery temperature information acquisition unit is lower than a set predetermined temperature, power is supplied to the load from both of the fuel cell system and the battery, and

when a non-urban route is set, power is supplied to the load from the fuel cell system and the fuel cell system is controlled to have a predetermined amount of power generation.

2. The vehicle system according to claim 1 , wherein the determined traveling route is one of the urban route for traveling in an urban area and the non-urban route for traveling in a non-urban area.

3. The vehicle system according to claim 2 ,

wherein, when the urban route for traveling in the urban area is set, and the temperature of the battery is equal to or higher than the set predetermined temperature, an operating status of the fuel cell system is changed according to a remaining capacity of the battery.
