Abstract
A vehicle includes: a front room disposed at a front part of the vehicle in a longitudinal direction of the vehicle; a fuel cell stack disposed in the front room, the fuel cell stack including multiple cells stacked in the longitudinal direction; a bumper reinforcement disposed at a front part of the front room in the longitudinal direction; and a buffer member disposed between the fuel cell stack and the bumper reinforcement in the longitudinal direction. At least a part of the buffer member overlaps with the bumper reinforcement, as viewed from a direction along the longitudinal direction.
Claims8
A vehicle comprising:
- a front room disposed at a front part of the vehicle in a longitudinal direction of the vehicle;
- a fuel cell stack disposed in the front room, the fuel cell stack including multiple cells stacked in the longitudinal direction;
- a bumper reinforcement disposed at a front part of the front room in the longitudinal direction;
- a buffer member disposed within a range between a front end of the fuel cell stack and the bumper reinforcement in the longitudinal direction;
- and
- an auxiliary-device component disposed between the bumper reinforcement and the buffer member, wherein
- at least a part of the buffer member overlaps with the bumper reinforcement, as viewed from a direction along the longitudinal direction,
- the buffer member includes a first buffer portion and a second buffer portion, the second buffer portion having a lower durable load in the longitudinal direction than a durable load of the first buffer portion in the longitudinal direction,
- the first buffer portion and the second buffer portion are arranged adjacent to each other, and
- the first buffer portion is disposed within a range corresponding to an outline of the bumper reinforcement, as viewed from the direction along the longitudinal direction.
A vehicle comprising:
- a front room disposed at a front part of the vehicle in a longitudinal direction of the vehicle;
- a fuel cell stack disposed in the front room, the fuel cell stack including multiple cells stacked in the longitudinal direction;
- a bumper reinforcement disposed at a front part of the front room in the longitudinal direction;
- and
- a buffer member disposed within a range between a front end of the fuel cell stack and the bumper reinforcement in the longitudinal direction, wherein
- at least a part of the buffer member overlaps with the bumper reinforcement, as viewed from a direction along the longitudinal direction, and
- the buffer member is fixed to the front end of the fuel cell stack.
