Moritz Nolte
My name is Moritz Nolte. As an industrial engineer specialising in automotive economics and technology, I started writing about automotive topics early on. I gained my experience and expertise working for industrial companies, car manufacturers and automotive suppliers, specialising in technology, engineering, automotive and motorsport topics. Among other things, I worked as a key account manager at "Auto Bild" for five years, and from 2010 to 2012 I worked for Axel Springer Verlag as deputy property manager for autobild.de. In 2013 I went freelance as a motor journalist.
