FUEL CELL VEHICLE
First Claim
1. A fuel cell vehicle, comprising:
- a motor for driving wheels;
a fuel cell for generating electricity by way of a reaction of reactant gas, and supplying the electricity to the motor;
a power storage device for storing the electricity generated by the fuel cell, and supplying the electricity to the motor;
a power storage device drive means, for driving the motor using the electricity from the power storage device so as to serve as a power storage device drive mode, in a case of driving in a state in which initialization of the fuel cell to generate electricity has not been completed;
a fuel cell drive means, for driving the motor using the electricity from the fuel cell and the power storage device so as to serve as a fuel cell drive mode, in a case of driving in a state in which the initialization of the fuel cell to generate electricity has been completed; and
a torque upper limit value control means for controlling a torque upper limit value of the motor under the power storage device drive mode and fuel cell drive mode,wherein the torque upper limit value control means restricts the torque upper limit value of the motor to be greater for the power storage device drive mode than that of the fuel cell drive mode.
