A modular frame (125,125A) for a fuel-cell vehicle (100) is configured to connect to a bracket arranged along a longitudinal frame (115) of the vehicle (100). The modular frame (125,125A) can include one or more components (140) for powering the vehicle (100), including one or more of a fuel cell, a battery, a battery cooling system, and hydrogen storage tanks (140). A modular assembly, including the modular frame (125,125A) and internal components (140), can communicate with the fuel-cell vehicle (100) through standard integration components regardless of the particular components (140) in the modular assembly. The modular assembly can be readily removed from the fuel-cell vehicle (100) and replaced with a different modular assembly containing different components (140).
