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.^[1]
