106 Moving object with fuel cells incorporated therein and method of controlling the same EP00110847.1 2000-05-22 EP1055545A2 2000-11-29 Tabata, Atsushi

In a hybrid vehicle with fuel cells (60) and an engine (10) mounted thereon as energy output sources, the technique of the present invention adequately changes a working energy output source according to a driving state of the hybrid vehicle. The hybrid vehicle has the engine (10) and a motor (20), both enabling power to be output to an axle (17). The hybrid vehicle also has fuel cells (60) as a main electric power supply for driving the motor (20). The technique of the present invention changes the working energy output source between the fuel cells (20) and the engine (10), in order to reduce the output of the fuel cells (20) with consumption of a fuel for the fuel cells (20). With a decrease in remaining quantity of the fuel, the technique narrows a specific driving range, in which the motor (20) is used as the power source. The technique also causes the engine (10) to drive the motor (20) as a generator and charges a battery (50) not with electric power of the fuel cells (60) but with electric power generated by the motor (20). This arrangement effectively prevents the fuel for the fuel cells (60) from being excessively consumed in one driving mode. The fuel cells (60) can thus be used preferentially in a specific driving state of the hybrid vehicle where the fuel cells (60) have a high efficiency.
