On January 01, 2021, Prof. Dr.-Ing. Peter Gutzmer became Co-editor in charge of the magazines ATZ, MTZ, ATZelectronics and ATZheavyduty. He will also provide support for the ATZlive conferences. Gutzmer, who is well known in the automotive industry because of his roles as associate lecturer and honorary professor at Karlsruhe Institute of Technology (KIT) and as former board member of Schaeffler AG over many years and also as a result of his many other activities, will be working alongside Dr. Johannes Liebl, who has been Editor in Charge for the last ten years. "ATZ and MTZ have been prominent information and communication platforms for technical and engineering issues in the automotive and powertrain industries over a period of more than 120 years. The opportunity, after more than 40 years of professional experience in this field, to help to shape these media as part of a competent team during a time of major global change and against the background of the shift toward connected and sustainable mobility is very attractive," says Gutzmer describing his new challenge. Liebl is enthusiastic about the appointment of his expert colleague. "I am pleased that Peter Gutzmer, who I have known for a long time, will be joining the Springer Nature team and that we will be able to share our workload in these uncertain times. This will give me the freedom to spend more time with my family in the future." Both editors in charge will work closely with the Editor in Chief of the ATZ/MTZ Group, Dr. Alexander Heintzel.
