Abstract
In an electric generating arrangement for a motor vehicle driven by an internal combustion engine, a fuel cell is provided to generate electric energy for operating electric consuming devices. For supplying the fuel cell with fuel, hydrogen gas is cracked from the liquid fuel for the internal combustion engine, and the remaining fuel constituents are either burnt directly in the internal combustion engine, or returned as a liquid condensate into the fuel tank.
