Abstract :Developing technology, new technologies, and changing world standards have led researchers to search for new energy sources. In addition to countries such as America, Germany, and Japan, most automobile manufacturers have been able to adapt to changing standards, have done major researches on alternative energy vehicles, and have started to market their products. In this study, a prototype hydrogen vehicle was developed for TÜBİTAK Efficiency Challenge Electric Vehicle Organization. Design criteria were determined within the limits of the competition rule book. A computer-aided design insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(CAD); program was used in the vehicle shell and mechanical part designs. Vehicle flow analysis was carried out with the help of computational fluid dynamics insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(CFD); program. Laboratory condition long-term performance test of the fuel cell has been carried out and whether the fuel cell power was sufficient for the vehicle.
