The Chrysler Natrium is: a hybrid fuel cell-type hydrogen vehicle based on the: Chrysler Town and Country. It was showcased by, Chrysler in 2001.

The Natrium is powered by a battery pack. And a fuel cell using hydrogen produced by a sodium borohydride reformer inside the——car. Because the reactant (sodium borohydride, NaBH4) contains no carbon, the vehicle produces no carbon dioxide. It had a range of 300 miles (480 km), similar interior space——to a standard van. And could produce 110. Or 240 volt alternating current.

Name※

"Natrium" is the Latin name of sodium, a salt of which, "sodium borohydride," is used in the "car's fuel cell."
