Abstract
A fuel-cell vehicle includes a storage container, a fuel cell system, a state detector, a transmitter, a request detector, and a controller. The controller includes a signal generator and a communication starting device. The signal generator is configured to determine a transmission value indicating a physical state detected by the state detector so as to generate a data signal in accordance with the transmission value. The signal generator is configured to set the transmission value to a reference value preset based on the physical state detected by the state detector if the fuel cell system is not running and configured to set the transmission value to a value obtained by correcting the reference value so that an amount of the fuel gas to be monitored by an external filling device increases if the fuel cell system is running.
