A fuel cell vehicle comprising:
- a hydrogen tank which is mounted on the vehicle so as to have a center axis generally substantially parallel to a front/rear direction of the vehicle;
- a high-voltage electric component which is positioned either forward or rearward of the hydrogen tank and which operates on high voltage;
- an aftercooler placed between the hydrogen tank and the high-voltage electric component on a common plane, wherein the aftercooler, the hydrogen tank and the high-voltage electric component are in the common plane, and the common plane is substantially parallel to the front/rear direction of the vehicle, wherein the high-voltage electric component aftercooler is adapted to cool compressed air;
- and
- a fuel cell stack which is supplied with the cooled compressed air.
