Original Abstract Submitted
A thermal management system includes: an electrical storage device located in a first flow path; a drive device located in a second flow path; a radiator located in a third flow path, a chiller device located in a fourth flow path, and a switching device. In the thermal management system, when heating the electrical storage device, the switching device is controlled so as to cause a heating circuit having one heat medium path in which a heat medium circulates through the first flow path, the fourth flow path, the second flow path, and the third flow path to be formed.
