The power converting unit 18 is connected to the electric storage unit 16 and configured to be able to bi-directionally convert electric power. The transmission and receiving units 12, 14 transmit and receive power in a non-contact way with adjoining first and second vehicles during convoy traveling. The connecting unit 20 selectively connects two of the transmitting and receiving units 12, 14 and the power converting unit 18. The ECU 22 controls the power converting unit 18 and the connecting unit 20. <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2013,JPO&INPIT |
