TheChrysler Natrium was a hybridfuel cell-typehydrogen vehicle based on theChrysler Town and Country. It was showcased byChrysler in 2001.
The Natrium was powered by a battery pack and a fuel cell usinghydrogen produced by asodium borohydride reformer inside the car. Because the reactant (sodium borohydride, NaBH4) contained nocarbon, the vehicle produced nocarbon 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]
"Natrium" is the Latin name ofsodium, a salt of which, sodium borohydride, is used in the car's fuel cell.
