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.[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, a salt of which, sodium borohydride, is used in the car's fuel cell.
