FUEL CELL ELECTRIC VEHICLE - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240209990 titled 'FUEL CELL ELECTRIC VEHICLE

The fuel cell electric vehicle described in the patent application consists of a pair of side rails, a lower cross member, a hydrogen tank, and an upper cross member.

  • The pair of side rails extend in the longitudinal direction of the vehicle.
  • The lower cross member connects the pair of side rails in the vehicle width direction below them.
  • The hydrogen tank is mounted on the lower cross member.
  • The upper cross member connects the pair of side rails in the vehicle width direction above the hydrogen tank.

Potential Applications: - This technology can be applied in the automotive industry for the development of fuel cell electric vehicles. - It can also be used in the transportation sector for eco-friendly and sustainable mobility solutions.

Problems Solved: - This innovation addresses the need for alternative fuel sources in vehicles to reduce carbon emissions and dependence on fossil fuels. - It provides a structural design that efficiently integrates a hydrogen tank into the vehicle chassis.

Benefits: - Reduced environmental impact through the use of hydrogen fuel cells. - Enhanced structural integrity and space utilization in electric vehicles.

Commercial Applications: Title: Advancements in Fuel Cell Electric Vehicles for Sustainable Transportation This technology can be commercialized by automotive manufacturers looking to produce eco-friendly vehicles and capitalize on the growing demand for sustainable transportation solutions.

Questions about Fuel Cell Electric Vehicles: 1. How does the integration of a hydrogen tank in the vehicle chassis improve the overall performance of fuel cell electric vehicles? 2. What are the potential challenges in mass-producing vehicles with this innovative design?
