Youthful test of strength: The best automotive mechatronics engineers
The EuroCup for automotive mechatronics took place in Dresden these days. Participants from German-speaking countries, specifically from Luxembourg, South Tyrol, Germany, Switzerland and Austria, traditionally compete here to qualify for the World Skills, the world championship of professions. These will take place in Shanghai this year.
The five countries and regions mentioned decided several years ago to cooperate more closely in this area. The main purpose of this EuroCup is to test your mental strength in order to then survive at the WorldSkills. Finally, a joint training plan is created.
Unfortunately, the Austrian participant had to pass due to corona. And so the best 11 automotive mechatronics engineers from Luxembourg, Germany, South Tyrol and Switzerland ultimately competed in the preparatory tournament for the World Professional Championships in October in Shanghai.
Nevertheless, a high-ranking delegation from the Federal Vehicle Technology Guild, led by Federal Guild Master Roman Keglovits-Ackerer, was on site. He was impressed by the performances shown by the participants: “It was undeniably world-class technical,” says Keglovits-Ackerer.
“We have six stations here and at each station there is a specific section of the vehicle that needs to be diagnosed and, if necessary, repaired,” explained Mathias Gutsche, head of vocational training at the Dresden automotive industry, who hosted this year’s EuroCup.
Stephanie Werth from World Skills Germany emphasized that every participant is a winner because “you can gain and take with you an enormous amount of experience and develop personally.” The winners are Florent Lacilla (Switzerland) ahead of Stefan Mißbach (Germany) and Hannes Egger (South Tyrol).
