ABSTRACT:
A vehicle fuel cell system according to this invention comprises a controller (20) that compares a input running distance to a predetermined distance. When the input running distance is less than the predetermined distance, the controller (20) finishes running using only the hydrogen supplied from a hydrogen storage device (14) without starting a start-up combustor (50). When the input running distance is larger than the predetermined distance, the controller (20) starts hydrogen supply from the hydrogen storage device (14), and simultaneously starts warm-up of a reformer (3) by starting the start-up combustor (50). When warm-up of the reformer (3) is complete, supply of hydrogen from the hydrogen storage device (14) finishes, and hydrogen supply from the reformer (3) starts.
