Abstract: A control method of a fuel cell vehicle comprises estimating a load applied to an own vehicle that is the fuel cell vehicle and that runs on an 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.
