Ulrich W. Schiefer

In 1982, he performed his seminar work at the Daimler Benz AG about design and built of an engine block made of carbon composite material.

Schiefer began his career in 1985 at the BMW AG as an aerodynamics engineer for the Formula 1 racing cars Brabham, Arrows and Benetton.

Schiefer was responsible for the setup and direction of the innovation center of the BMW AG, which dealt with the development of new vehicle platforms and the identification and implementation of new technologies.

At the beginning of 2000, Schiefer switched to Ford and became director responsible of vehicle development and motor racing at Aston Martin in Gaydon, England.

In 2004, Schiefer founded the AtTrack GmbH – Gesellschaft für Mobilität whose activities cover automotive technology and design as well as consulting of enterprises.

For instance, he supported the automotive brand Alpina reentering motor sport with his and his team's engineering capabilities and was instrumental for the homologation of the vehicle at the Federation International de l’Automobile (FIA).

As AtTrack was soon aware of the problematic dynamics of competition between fuel and food supply, one forwarded the development of a biofuel addition technique.

To show the technology to the public, the AtTrack Bioendurance Team 2006 under the direction of Schiefer deployed a Subaru WRX STI with Johnny Cecotto and Diego Romanini as drivers at the 24 Hours Nürburgring.

With the so-called AtGreen Concept, Schiefer and his team showed that fuel made of renewable resources and racing performance do not contradict one another.

In Praxi, the alumni association of his alma mater in economics at the Wissenschaftliche Hochschule für Unternehmensführung in Vallendar (WHU), nominated him to be board member responsible for communities and regional chapters.
