With the development of technology and economy, people’s demand for energy has been increasing. But the environmental pollution caused by the use of traditional energy sources has threatened to the people’s lives. In order to avoid reducing the welfare of human’s future, we must find new, clean, sustainable energy systems, and apply them to human beings’ real life. Fuel cell vehicles are hydrogen’s specific applications in transportation field. The power of this new energy vehicle is provided by the electricity produced by hydrogen and oxygen through fuel cells, and its emission is only water which has no pollution to the environment. However, if a new energy system wants to get the promotion and application, its safety should be firstly concerned comparing to conventional cars. Hydrogen has its own characteristics, such as the phenomena of leakage, dispersion, flammability, detonation and embrittlement, which make the board hydrogen system have certain security risks. In order to further develop and promote fuel cell vehicles, it is necessary to do hydrogen safety research. This study is based on the theory at home and abroad. Firstly, the article introduces the basic principles of fuel cell vehicles and basic characteristics of hydrogen. Secondly, we discuss the special safety problems of hydrogen, such as the safety of hydrogen supply system, car-inside, components and pipe and hydrogen fuel cells engines. Lastly, facing these hydrogen safety issues, we put forward corresponding improvement measures and control strategies through testing and analysis to help the development and promotion of fuel cell vehicles.
