Abstract
In a fuel cell stack, fuel cells are stacked together in a stacking direction, and the stacked fuel cells are placed in a casing. An upper side panel of the casing includes an outer plate and an inner plate which are joined together. Flat plate members are interposed between the outer plate and the inner plate at positions corresponding to both end portions of the outer plate and the inner plate extending in the stacking direction. The flat plate members are thicker than the outer plate and the inner plate.
