Design and development for fuel cell electric vehicle in consideration of future type city traffic : "ULFCV(Ultra Lightweight Fuel Cell Vehicle)"

Abstract

Recently, development and the spread are expected of small, lightweight, environmentally-friendly and high-efficiency single-seat fuel cell electric vehicle. Then, in order to realize this concept, we designed and manufactured for ULFCV (Ultra Lightweight Fuel Cell Electric Concept Vehicle) applying the development technology of competition vehicle. In this paper we researched about the performance of the ULFCV by doing test run. The result, we're able to achieve the cruising range 94.25km by hybrid system (with lead battery). In addition, running in the public road was achieved by acquiring the motorized bicycle number.
