This study analyzes the environmental performance (fuel consumption rate) based on the Worldwide Harmonized Light Vehicle Test Cycles (WLTC) mode when a conventional internal combustion motor ICEV is used as an FCV by simulation, considering the maximum vehicle speed and one fill trip distance. The relationship between the application, body type, and fuel consumption rate is discussed. The analysis showed that the higher the energy consumed by the vehicle in each driving mode, the lower the combustion consumption rate tends to be, but the difference between different vehicle types and body types decreases as the driving speed increases, such as highway driving. Therefore, the effects of vehicle weight, vehicle type, and body type on fuel consumption rate may be less of an issue when FCVs are used for inter-city travel than when driving in the suburbs. In addition, the fuel consumption rate of FCVs was found to decrease as the driving speed increases. Therefore, considering environmental performance, unlike gasoline vehicles, FCVs should be driven at lower speeds.
