Improvement of purpose for fuel cell section participation of Vehicle for Energy-Saving Competition "World Econo Move"

Abstract

Recently, development and the spread are expected of environmentally-friendly and high-efficiency single-seat fuel cell electric vehicle. Then, in order to upgrade a fuel cell electric vehicle, we participated in the fuel cell section newly established in energy saving competition "World Econo move (WEM)". And we researched about the performance and the running method by doing test run. The result, we could achieve the cruising range 44.1km. In addition, we simulated for the best running condition. Then, the cruising range can expect 48.17km when the condition of capacity 83.3F of the capacitor and 8.5Ain motor control current average.
