Abstract
A fuel cell vehicle includes a lid, a switch, a sensor, and circuitry. The lid opens and closes a fuel inlet through which fuel gas is to be supplied to a tank. The switch takes an opening position to open the lid and a closing position to close the lid. The sensor detects whether the lid opens or closes the fuel inlet. The circuitry is configured to prohibit the fuel cell vehicle from travelling when the sensor detects that the lid opens the fuel inlet while the switch takes the opening position.
Claims12
A fuel cell vehicle comprising:
- a lid capable of opening and closing a feed unit for supplying fuel gas to a tank;
- a switch for performing an operation to switch opening and closing of the lid;
- a sensor configured to detect an open state and a closed state of the lid;
- and
- a control unit configured to perform travel restriction control to restrict travel of the fuel cell vehicle when an opening operation on the switch coincides with detection of the open state of the lid by the sensor.
A fuel cell vehicle comprising:
- a lid to open and close a fuel inlet through which fuel gas is to be supplied to a tank;
- a switch to take an opening position to open the lid and a closing position to close the lid;
- a sensor to detect whether the lid opens or closes the fuel inlet;
- and
- circuitry configured to
- prohibit the fuel cell vehicle from travelling when the sensor detects that the lid opens the fuel inlet while the switch takes the opening position.
A control method for a fuel cell vehicle including a lid to open and close a fuel inlet through which fuel gas is to be supplied to a tank and a switch to take an opening position to open the lid and a closing position to close the lid, the control method comprising:
- detecting whether the lid opens or closes the fuel inlet;
- and
- prohibiting the fuel cell vehicle from travelling when it is detected that the lid opens the fuel inlet while the switch takes the opening position.
