FEV Motorentechnik GmbH changes name to FEV GmbH

In reflection of its growth into a worldwide organization, FEV Motorentechnik GmbH announced that it has changed its name to simply FEV GmbH. Stefan Pischinger, president and CEO of FEV, said the name change reflects the company’s movement beyond engine development. “We are tremendously proud of our history as a pre-eminent engine developer. In recent years, we have expanded the spectrum of capabilities that are offered by FEV Motorentechnik GmbH well beyond the boundaries of only engine technology. Today, vehicle integration, transmission, chassis, electronics and electrical drives also belong to our core competencies. In addition to vehicle technology and drive system technology, we are also asked by our customers to deliver engineering services in the fields of energy technology and wind power. So our fields of expertise are much broader, than the name ‘FEV Motorentechnik GmbH’ suggests.” The company was founded in 1978 and was focused on the development of internal combustion engines. The company now produces conventional, electric and alternative vehicle drive systems, and energy technology. (July 11, 2011)
