  • the second radiator 49 has a larger dimension and height in the vehicle width direction than the fuel cell 24, respectively, so the second radiator 49 is enlarged and positioned to protrude outward and upward in the vehicle width direction beyond the fuel cell 24. This makes it difficult for the fuel cell 24 to obstruct the flow of air passing through the second radiator 49. This increases the heat exchange capacity of the second radiator 49 and improves the cooling performance of the fuel cell 24.
