Abstract: Liquid fuel is used to supply an internal combustion engine (ICE) driving mechanism (2) and a fuel cell system. The ICE driving mechanism starts an ICE, causes immediate vehicle movement after starting and heats up a fuel cell system to a working temperature, after reaching which a fuel cell (4) starts operating. This causes an electric travel motor (5) fed by the fuel cell system to produce momentum for moving a vehicle either on its own or with the ICE driving mechanism.

Abstract: A driving force control device for a four-wheel drive vehicle including
one pair of front or rear driven wheels (WF) which are driven directly by a prime
mover (E) and another pair of front or rear driven wheels (WR) which are driven via a
hydraulic clutch (C), a first hydraulic pump (PF) which is driven by being operatively
connected to the one pair of driven wheels (WF), and a second hydraulic pump (PR)

Abstract: The object of this invention is to provide a relay unit and a housing for that unit to be used
when a number of relay switches are installed side by side in a circuit to switch a power supply
circuit on and off. A number of compartments are provided in a case with an open top such that one
relay fits into each compartment. The relays are placed into these compartments, and a cover is
fitted onto the open top of the case. Slits are provided along the upper edge of the case and/or in the
cover, through which the connectors attached to the terminals of the various relays can pass. The
cover is placed on top of the case with the connectors attached to the terminals of the various relays
running through the various slits. With this invention, a number of relay switches are put into a
single package (housing), thus making the relays easier to handle. The package makes it easier to
mount and wire multiple relay switches. Because the positions of the connectors are controlled by
the slits in the case, the connectors cannot rotate if they receive an accidental impact. This prevents
accidental short circuits.
