Abstract: The disclosure relates to a method for increasing a temperature of a vehicle interior of a vehicle from a low temperature value to an increased temperature value, wherein the vehicle has a fuel cell system with a fuel cell stack and a compressor connected with the fuel cell stack at the cathode side, comprising: drawing in cathode gas via the compressor, and compressing and heating the drawn-in cathode gas. At least a portion of a cathode gas mass flow of the heated cathode gas is directed into the vehicle interior, and the temperature of the vehicle interior is raised to the increased temperature value. Moreover, the disclosure relates to a vehicle for implementing the method.
