VEHICLE FRONT STRUCTURE - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240136548 titled 'VEHICLE FRONT STRUCTURE
Simplified Explanation
The abstract describes a front structure of a fuel cell vehicle that helps prevent blowing wind from hitting a water heater located in a front compartment. The vehicle is equipped with a water heater that warms water to heat air for air-conditioning in a front compartment separated from the vehicle cabin by a dash panel. A front trunk is provided within the front compartment, divided from other spaces by wall portions, with the water heater located behind the rear wall portion of the front trunk.
- Fuel cell vehicle front structure design
- Water heater for air-conditioning in front compartment
- Front trunk with wall portions separating spaces
- Water heater located behind rear wall portion
