Abstract
A high pressure tank system is equipped with a group of high pressure tanks having a plurality of cylindrically shaped high pressure tanks that are filled with a fuel gas that is supplied to a motive power source, an accommodation unit in which the group of high pressure tanks are accommodated, and a discharge flow path through which a discharged gas that is guided from the motive power source flows. The accommodation unit is provided with the discharge flow path, and the discharge flow path is disposed in a manner so that heat of the discharged gas flowing through the discharge flow path is transferable to the group of high pressure tanks.
