Abstract

An emergency start method for a fuel cell-powered vehicle includes starting the vehicle and detecting an abnormal state of a power supply system of an air blower upon the start of the vehicle. If the power supply system of the air blower is in the abnormal state, an air-check valve of a fuel cell opens. Hydrogen is supplied to the fuel cell, and the air blower operates with power generated from the fuel cell and an emergency start system.
