  • Patent number: 11342568
    Abstract: A fuel cell vehicle includes a fuel cell, a hydrogen tank, a driving motor, a power feeder and a controller. The controller is configured to: obtain current location information of the fuel cell vehicle, hydrogen supply position information, a fuel consumption of the fuel cell vehicle in a drive mode, a remaining amount of hydrogen stored in the hydrogen tank, and a consumed amount of hydrogen per unit time in a power feed mode; calculate an amount of hydrogen that is required for the fuel cell vehicle to drive from the current location to the supply position; calculate a power feedable time period when the fuel cell vehicle is operable in the power feed mode without causing the remaining amount of hydrogen to become less than the required amount of hydrogen, and display information with regard to the power feedable period.

  • Patent number: 10355252
    Abstract: A method for manufacturing a bottomed cuboid battery container includes: forming a first member by folding one piece of a first flat sheet, the first member being constructed of a quadrilateral bottom surface and first paired side surfaces, the first paired side surfaces continuing from the bottom surface and being oppose each other; and forming the bottomed cuboid battery container by welding each of a second flat sheet and a third flat sheet to the first member such that the second flat sheet and the third flat sheet oppose each other and constitute second paired side surfaces. The second flat sheet and the first member are welded from one direction. The third flat sheet and the first member are welded from one direction.
