Abstract
A method of designing a machine on which a drive motor, a fuel cell stack, and a secondary battery are mounted includes: determining a maximum output of the drive motor to be a first output value and an output of the drive motor when a vehicle travels under a cruise condition to be a second output value; determining the number of fuel cell stacks to be mounted to be n; and determining a maximum output of the secondary battery to be a value obtained by subtracting a value obtained by multiplying a maximum output of the fuel cell stack by the n, from the first output value. A value obtained by multiplying the third output value by the n is equal to or larger than the second output value, and a value obtained by multiplying the third output value by (n−1) is less than the second output value.
