Abstract

A vehicle is provided having a vehicle front end in which a fuel cell system which has a fuel cell stack is arranged, which full cell system is, at a cathode side, connected at least directly to an exhaust-gas line through which a fluid emerging from the fuel cell stack can be discharged from the vehicle front end. The exhaust-gas system comprises a sorption system for the adsorption of a liquid of the fluid emerging from the fuel cell stack. The invention furthermore relates to a method for treating a fluid of a fuel cell system, which has a fuel cell stack, in a vehicle.
