Abstract
A vehicle includes a battery and a COrecovery device using electric power of the battery to recover COcontained in inflowing gas. A control device mounted in the vehicle controls the COrecovery device. The control device permits operation of the COrecovery device in the case where a high efficiency recovery condition, at which it is predicted that the efficiency of recovery of CO, showing a ratio of the amount of recovery of COin the COrecovery device with respect to the electric power consumed by the battery, will become equal to or greater than a preset predetermined efficiency, is satisfied, and prohibits operation of the COrecovery device in the case where the high efficiency recovery condition is not satisfied.
