DRIVE
October 4, 2017
A saddle-ride type vehicle includes an air-cooled fuel cell unit (36) that is mounted on a body frame (12) behind a head pipe (15) and in front of a pivot frame (17) and uses taken-in outside air for supplying oxygen and cooling a unit. The fuel cell unit (36) includes an outside air intake open forward below the head pipe (15) and an exhaust port (53) open rearward above a pivot (23). A seat frame (31) has a monocoque structure also having a configuration of an exhaust duct for guiding exhaust gas from the fuel cell unit (36) to a back of an occupant's seat (29). Accordingly, in the saddle-ride type vehicle, it is possible to realize more efficient ventilation in utilizing a fuel cell.
