Bastian Ritter obtained his Master of Engineering in Development and Management in Mechanical and Automotive Engineering (Industrial Engineering) at Coburg University of Applied Sciences. Before commencing his degree, he had already completed an apprenticeship as a motor vehicle mechatronics technician (IHK), which is why his knowledge of automotive engineering is not limited to theory.

Furthermore, during his studies, he gained further professional experience through positions at various renowned German car manufacturers and industrial groups in Bavaria and Baden-Württemberg. It was there that he also wrote his final thesis on the analysis and evaluation of future powertrain technologies for heavy goods vehicles in long-distance transport.

Since October 2021, Bastian Ritter has been working as a technologist and project manager at the Centre of Excellence for Electromobility at Bayern Innovativ GmbH, where he is increasingly focusing on the topic of ‘expanding the charging infrastructure in Bavaria’.
