Provided is a system capable of charging a capacitor of a delivery vehicle in a short period of time. In the delivery vehicle system, a plurality of units of delivery vehicles that run with a capacitor as a power source are caused to run under control of a ground-side controller along a predetermined travel path. A charge device is provided with a rectifier which rectifies alternating current into direct current, a charge device-side capacitor which is charged by the rectifier, and a charging coupler for charging a delivery vehicle-side capacitor of the delivery vehicle. The charge device is provided at a plurality of spots along the travel path. The delivery vehicle is provided with means for reporting position and remaining capacity of the capacitor to the ground-side controller. The ground-side controller is provided with a charge management unit which selects a delivery vehicle in accordance with the remaining capacity of the capacitor and the position of the delivery vehicle, selects and specifies a charging coupler for the selected delivery vehicle, and performs control so as to cause the delivery vehicle to stop and receive charge at a position adjacent to the specified charging coupler. |
