Abstract

See full text

The invention relates to a fuel cell vehicle (200), in which the driver has more influence on the consumption and the dynamic of the vehicle (200). This is achieved by the fuel cell vehicle (200) comprising at least one sensor for detecting a first driver input and a control unit (60). The control unit (60) is configured to operate the fuel cell vehicle (200) in one of a plurality of operating modes depending on the first driver input, wherein a power consumption PAC of the air-conditioning system (70), an operating range of the fuel cell stack (10), and a transfer function for determining the power demand PEM from the second driver input are varied depending on the selected operating mode. It is provided that the driver has at least five different operating modes available, which differ in particular with respect to the available driving dynamic, the fuel consumption, and the adjustable comfort.
