PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a cooling device for a vehicle capable of effectively utilizing a travelling wind without lowering fuel economy of the vehicle. SOLUTION: In a fuel cell vehicle in which a plurality of radiators Rad are serially arranged in the front-rear direction, the size in the longitudinal direction of a heat radiation face 55a of an AC radiator 52 at a front-most face is formed to be shorter than the size of a longitudinal direction of a heat radiation face 45 of a DT radiator 41 and part of the heat radiation face 45a of the DT radiator 41 protrudes to below the heat radiation face 55a of the AC radiator 52 and an area facing against an upstream of the travelling wind Air is formed. The length of a fan shroud 61a in a vertical direction is formed to be substantially equal to the vertical length of the heat radiation face 55a of the AC radiator 52 and a caliber of the fan of the radiator fan 61 and output of the motor for driving are reduced.
