Abstract

A vehicle includes a vehicle body having a frame structure provided with a pair of right and left side rails, and hydrogen tanks and a secondary battery disposed in a region between the side rails. The side rails have deformed portions that are deformed due to a vehicle front collision load at the time of a vehicle front collision, and the hydrogen tanks are disposed in front of the secondary battery or on both outer sides of the secondary battery in a vehicle width direction such that the deformed portions, when the amount of movement of each of the deformed portions of the side rails has reached a predetermined amount, reach the hydrogen tanks without reaching the secondary battery.
