Further members of the executive board of FEV Europe GmbH are Dr.-Ing. Norbert W. Alt (Chairman) and Dipl.-Kfm. Stefan Kreysa.
After holding various positions in gasoline engine development, Dr. Johannes Scharf was most recently Vice President EU-Gasoline Powertrains, responsible for the European development programs for gasoline engines. He will be succeeded in this function by Dr. Tolga Uhlmann, who was most recently Director Basic Engine Development in the Gasoline Powertrains division at FEV Europe.
