Supply Chain Issues Forces Toshiba to Delay its Direct Methanol Fuel Cell Launch

Toshiba have reported that will begin selling its DMFC battery chargers later than expected after it ran into problems securing certain components for them.

In a presentation earlier this year Atsutoshi Nishida, Toshiba's president, said it would be released before the end of March but the company now says it won't be available until later in the year.

The company would not say which components it had problems obtaining.

Despite the delay in the charger Toshiba remains committed to its original schedule for the DMFC packs for cell phones and laptop PCs, it said.

Toshiba is targeting annual sales of DMFC devices of ¥100 billion (US$1 billion) by 2015.
