VEHICLE MOUNTING INTERNAL COMBUSTION ENGINE AND FUEL CELL

摘要

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a vehicle mounting an internal combustion engine and a fuel cell with high energy efficiency.

SOLUTION: This vehicle mounting an internal combustion engine 1 and a fuel cell 2 includes a reformer 6 and a hydrogen separating device 9. The reformer 6 reforms at least part of liquid fuel by dehydrocyclization reaction and generates reformed fuel having high-octane component being rich in aromatic hydrocarbon and hydrogen. The hydrogen separating device 9 separates hydrogen from the reformed fuel. The vehicle also includes a device to supply at least part of the reformed fuel as fuel for the internal combustion engine 1, and a device to supply separated hydrogen as fuel for the fuel cell 2.
