A cooling system for a fuel cell onboard a vehicle includes a coolant circuit and a thermal energy storage device in fluid communication with the coolant circuit. The coolant circuit defines a coolant passageway and is configured to circulate a coolant through the coolant passageway and through a portion of the fuel cell to absorb heat from the fuel cell. The thermal energy storage device includes a phase change material configured to store thermal energy released from the coolant flowing through the coolant circuit and through the thermal energy storage device in the form of latent heat. The phase change material is configured to dissipate thermal energy stored therein to a circumambient airflow flowing relative to the vehicle when the vehicle is moving.
