A transportation vehicle includes a fluid tempering arrangement to supply a gaseous and/or liquid, heated and/or cooled, fluid such as water. At least one thermochemical reservoir is in heat exchange relation with a conduit system, having at least one valve and a controller that controls the transfer of heat between the fluid and the thermochemical reservoir to adjust the temperature of the fluid provided to an outlet. Preferably two interconnected thermochemical reservoirs respectively contain hydride-forming metals having different hydrogen sorption-desorption temperatures. By sorption and desorption of hydrogen in the two reservoirs, heat energy produced electrically during low electrical demand can be chemically stored and later released for heating the fluid during high electrical demand.
