Fuel cell vehicle and control method thereof

The present invention provides a fuel cell vehicle and a control method thereof. The control method comprises estimating a load applied to an own vehicle that is the fuel cell vehicle and that runs onan estimated route by using current traffic flow information or the like in addition to the estimated route; determining whether an overload area is present on the estimated route by using the estimated load; and when it is determined that the overload area is present on the estimated route, performing an increasing process of increasing a cooling power of a cooling system to be greater than a cooling power set in an ordinary control mode before the own vehicle reaches the overload area. 本发明提供燃料电池车辆及其控制方法。控制方法包含如下步骤：除了推定路径之外，还使用当前的交通流信息等来推定在推定路径上行驶时会向本车施加的负荷；使用推定出的负荷来判定在推定路径上是否存在过负荷区域；及在判定为存在过负荷区域的情况下，在本车到达过负荷区域之前执行使冷却能力与在通常控制模式下设定的冷却能力相比增大的增大处理。
