Abstract: A hydrogen fuel tank mounting system for a vehicle comprises a first mount for mounting a first portion of the fuel tank in a fixed position and a second mount for slidably mounting a second portion of the fuel tank. In this manner, the mounting system reduces stress on fuel system components when accommodating expansion and contraction of the hydrogen fuel tank, improving durability. The fuel tank may be a dual port fuel tank, and the first and second portions may be elongated neck portions. The fixed mount may be a bracket formed in two portions with a clearance between them. A sleeve may extend through at least part of the portions of the brackets to distribute shear forces away from an interface between those portions. The provision of a slidable mounting also allows pre-assembly of the fuel tank and mounts, facilitating installation of the hydrogen fuel system.

Abstract: Methods and systems are provided for a cooling system for a vehicle having a fuel cell system. The cooling system comprises a first cooling circuit configured to cool a first set of vehicle components and a second cooling circuit configured to cool a second set of vehicle components. The fuel cell system is distributed between the first set of vehicle components and the second set of vehicle components.
