ABSTRACT:
An idle control system applicable to a fuel cell vehicle1is provided for improving the fuel efficiency. When the fuel cell vehicle is determined to be in a predetermined idle mode, the idle control system stops a compressor to thereby stop power generation of a fuel cell. In contrast, when the state of charge of the capacitor4falls below a predetermined value while the fuel cell vehicle is in the idle mode, the idle control system drives the compressor8by means of the capacitor to drive the fuel cell in order to charge the capacitor.
