Abstract:
Hydrogen tanks (30) are disposed approximately in the center along the longitudinal direction on roof (22) of fuel cell mounting bus (20). Air conditioner unit (60) is disposed in front of the hydrogen tanks (30) and radiator (42) in the rear thereof, and they are covered by roof cover (50). Outside air guide part (52) for guiding of outside air to outside air intake port (60a) of the air conditioner unit (60) is disposed in an intermediate position of rising slope surface (50a) in the front part of the roof cover (50) and in an upper region in front of the air conditioner unit (60). Bulkhead part (54) for isolating the hydrogen tanks (30) from the air conditioner unit (60) is disposed on the periphery of the air conditioner unit (60) on its side of hydrogen tanks (30). By virtue of this structure, any hydrogen having leaked out from the hydrogen tanks (30) is caused to flow backward by wind generated by running, so that any permeation of leaked hydrogen into the cabin through the outside air intake port (60a) of the air conditioner unit (60) can be avoided.
