A fuel cell vehicle includes tanks configured to store a fuel gas to be supplied to the fuel cell, the tanks being respectively disposed in front of and behind the motor drive unit such that a longitudinal direction of each of the tanks corresponds to a width direction of the fuel cell vehicle. The tanks are disposed such that respective end portions of the tanks on a side on which the high-voltage wiring portion is positioned are outside the high-voltage wiring portion in the width direction of the fuel cell vehicle and the respective end portions of tanks overlap a tire-wheel assembly in a front-rear direction of the fuel cell vehicle.

Fuel cell vehicle

A vehicle includes an electrical device in which a high-voltage part is disposed within a case, and a fuel tank. The high-voltage part is disposed near a first side end of the case in a vehicle width direction. The fuel tank has a first end portion in the vehicle width direction and a second end portion opposite to the first end portion. When a collision load equal to or greater than a predetermined value is applied to the fuel tank from the outside in a vehicle front-rear direction, the fuel tank is configured to be horizontally rotated about the first end portion of the fuel tank, and the second end portion of the fuel tank is configured to contact the second side end of the electrical device.

Vehicle with improved suppression of high voltage under collision load

An electric vehicle includes a driving device including an electric motor and a mechanism transmitting a driving force from the electric motor to a rear wheel axle, which are accommodated in a case, a first oil cooler configured to cool oil in the case, the first oil cooler being disposed behind the rear wheel axle, and a second oil cooler configured to cool the oil in the case, the second oil cooler being disposed behind the rear wheel axle. The driving device is disposed in a rear portion of the vehicle such that the driving device crosses the rear wheel axle. The second oil cooler is disposed at a position misaligned in a vehicle front-rear direction with respect to the first oil cooler.

Electric vehicle

In a vertical through hole of a rotational shaft, a first protrusion portion and a second protrusion portion protruding from an inner peripheral surface of the vertical through hole are provided in an axial direction of the through hole to form a storage area for storing oil, and discharge holes for directly discharging oil flowing over the first protrusion portion into the transaxle casing are provided in parallel with cooling holes.
