The '''Chrysler Natrium''' was a hybrid [[fuel cell]]-type [[hydrogen vehicle]] based on the [[Chrysler Town and Country]]. It was showcased by [[Chrysler (division)|Chrysler]] in 2001.
The Natrium was 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]], NaBH<sub>4</sub>) contained no [[carbon]], the vehicle produced no [[carbon dioxide]].{{cn|date=September 2013}} It had a range of {{convert|300|mi|km|-1}}, similar interior space to a standard van, and could produce 110 or 240 volt alternating current.<ref>[http://www.allpar.com/corporate/fuel-cells.html Chrysler Natrium at allpar]</ref>
== Name == "Natrium" is the Latin name of [[sodium]], a salt of which, sodium borohydride, is used in the car's fuel cell.
