Chrysler Natrium Overview Manufacturer Chrysler (DaimlerChrysler) Production 2001 Body and chassis Class Minivan Body style 4-door minivan Platform Chrysler RS

The **Chrysler Natrium** was a hybrid [fuel cell](/source/Fuel_cell)-type [hydrogen vehicle](/source/Hydrogen_vehicle) based on the [Chrysler Town and Country](/source/Chrysler_Town_and_Country). It was showcased by [Chrysler](/source/Chrysler_(division)) in 2001.

The Natrium was powered by a battery pack and a fuel cell using [hydrogen](/source/Hydrogen) produced by a [sodium borohydride reformer](https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Sodium_borohydride_reformer&action=edit&redlink=1) inside the car. Because the reactant ([sodium borohydride](/source/Sodium_borohydride), NaBH4) contained no [carbon](/source/Carbon), the vehicle produced no [carbon dioxide](/source/Carbon_dioxide).[*[citation needed](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Citation_needed)*] 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.[1]

## Name

"Natrium" is the Latin name of [sodium](/source/Sodium), a salt of which, sodium borohydride, is used in the car's fuel cell.
