Abstract
Official abstract text for this publication.
In order for a vehicle to which a fuel cell module is mounted to fully secure an electric connection between a vehicle body and the fuel cell module, a vehicle is provided, which includes a conductive plate-like member, constituting at least a part of a floor portion of a vehicle body of the vehicle, and having a protruded portion protruded upwardly in the gravity directions and extended from the front to the rear of the vehicle, a fuel cell module, provided downward in the gravity directions from the plate-like member, and accommodating a fuel cell, and a grounding wire, electrically connecting the fuel cell module with the plate-like member within a range when seen in the gravity direction where the protruded portion exists.
First claim
Opening claim text (preview).
What is claimed is: 1. A vehicle, comprising: a conductive plate-like member that constitutes at least a part of a floor portion of a vehicle body of the vehicle, and has a protruded portion protruded upwardly in the gravity directions and extended from the front to the rear of the vehicle; a fuel cell module that is provided downward in the gravity directions from the plate-like member, and accommodates a fuel cell; and a grounding wire that electrically connects the fuel cell module with the plate-like member within a range where the protruded portion exists when seen in the gravity direction, wherein the plate-like member includes: a through-hole that penetrates a part of the protruded portion; and a fastening portion that is located upward in the gravity directions from the through-hole, and is fastened to the grounding wire extended upwards through the through-hole from the fuel cell module, and wherein an entirety of the grounding wire is arranged within the range where the protruded portion exists when seen in the gravity direction. 2. The vehicle in accordance with claim 1 , wherein the grounding wire electrically connects a part of the fuel cell module on the protruded portion side with the plate-like member within the range where the protruded portion exists when seen in the gravity direction. 3. The vehicle in accordance with claim 1 , wherein the protruded portion is located at the center in vehicle width directions of the vehicle. 4. The vehicle in accordance with claim 1 , wherein the protruded portion is located between seats in vehicle width directions of the vehicle.
