A fuel cell electric vehicle is powered by a fuel cell that converts hydrogen gas into electricity to power the vehicle's electric motor. The fuel cell drivetrain includes the fuel cell, traction battery, vehicle controller, and other components. The vehicle controller, also known as an electronic control unit, manages and controls various functions of the vehicle, such as the fuel cell system, engine, and traction battery. It makes decisions based on data from sensors and inputs and optimizes fuel efficiency.
