Technische Universität München

Gernot Spiegelberg studied mechanical engineering at the University of Siegen and at the RWTH Aachen. After having successfully passed his diploma in 1986, he worked as an assistant at the Institute for Gear Technology and Dynamics of Machines (RWTH Aachen). From 1989 to 1997, he worked on the development of DC-Unimog and LKW in Gaggenau. In 1998, he became the Head of Department, Systems and Technology DC-Powersystems, for drive-by-wire technologies in Stuttgart. Prof. Spiegelberg completed his doctorate at the TU Karlsruhe in 2002 followed by a lectureship for Intelligent Automotive Systems at TU Budapest (Hungary) in 2004, for which he was awarded the Honorary Professorship. From 2006 to 2008, he acted as the Executive Vice President for Group Strategy/Technology at Siemens VDO Automotive AG in Regensburg. Thereafter, he transferred to the Corporate Technology Department and since then has been working on the Technology and Business Model for the Introduction of Electric Vehicles.
