ABSTRACT:
There is provided a vehicle system, including an electromobile having a fuel cell power generator mounted therein, and a predetermined mobile unit jointable to the electromobile, such that cogeneration within the mobile unit can be realized even during the travel of the electromobile. Via a joint section30,a vehicle10including a fuel cell13as a source of motive power is jointed to a mobile unit20capable of travelling and at least including a storage battery23and a water tank25. The water produced in the fuel cell13is recovered by a water recovery section21via the joint section30. The heat produced in the fuel cell13is recovered by a heat recovery section22via the joint section30. The recovered water is warmed up with the recovered heat, and thereafter stored in the water tank25. The hot water stored in the water tank25is utilized as hot water to be used for controlling the temperature of the mobile unit20or supplied as hot water. Any excess electric power generated by the fuel cell13is stored in the storage battery23, and supplied onto electric wiring within the mobile unit20.
