Hans Scherenberg (born Dresden 28 October 1910, died Stuttgart 17 November 2000)[1] was a German automobile engineer and executive.
In 1942 he received his doctoral thesis from Stuttgart University for a work on "Valve control systems for four-stroke flight engines."
Following the Second World War the victorious war-time allies had enforced Daimler Benz AG a pause in engine fuel-injection development.
Under Scherenberg's leadership Gutbrod developed and brought to market the world's first production automobile fitted with a petrol injected engine.
Following a promotion to the board of management in 1956, he was principally involved in the development of Daimler-Benz automatic transmission and fuel injection systems,[2] which would remain areas of key strength for the company in later decades.
