To provide a fuel cell vehicle which can correctly calculate out a continuously drivable distance even when a driving state of a fuel cell is changed.
A remaining fuel amount detecting means 201 detects the amount of a remaining fuel on the basis of a temperature from a tank temperature sensor 21 and a pressure from a tank pressure sensor 22. A first predicted fuel consumption rate calculating means 202 calculates out a predicted consumption rate (a first predicted fuel consumption rate) of hydrogen contributing to power generation in a fuel cell stack 3 on the basis of a stack current. A second predicted fuel consumption rate calculating means 203 calculates out a predicted consumption rate (a second predicted fuel consumption rate) of hydrogen not contributing to power generation on the basis of the stack current and a flow rate of hydrogen at a tank outlet detected by a hydrogen flow rate sensor 20 at the tank outlet. A continuously drivable distance calculating means 204 calculates out a continuously drivable distance of a vehicle on the basis of the amount of the remaining fuel, the first predicted fuel consumption rate and the second predicted fuel consumption rate and outputs the distance to a continuously drivable distance-displaying device 19.
