Bajaj Mobility AG for its 100% subsidiary KTM AG: Senior Executive to
strengthen R&D – Christof Lischka appointed Chief Technology and Product
Officer of KTM AG

 

Mattighofen, June 3, 2026

As part of its strategic realignment, KTM AG is strengthening its
Executive Board with another key appointment: Christof Lischka will assume
the position of Chief Technology and Product Officer (CTPO) of KTM AG as
of October 1, 2026.

He will take full responsibility for vehicle development, aiming to carry
the technological leadership of the KTM, Husqvarna and GasGas brands into
future generations of vehicles while also guiding the evolution of the
product portfolio and ensuring the highest standards of product quality.

Christof Lischka brings more than 25 years of experience in vehicle
development. Within the BMW Group, he held leadership roles in chassis
development, vehicle dynamics, braking systems, overall vehicle
integration, and development strategy. For the past six years, he has
served as Vice President Development at BMW Motorrad, leading the entire
motorcycle development division.

CEO Gottfried Neumeister stated: “Christof Lischka embodies what defines
our company: deep technical expertise, strategic vision, and a genuine
passion for motorcycles. He understands development from both a management
and a rider’s perspective, and this will shape his work at KTM. We are
very pleased to welcome him on board.”

Technical Expertise from a Rider’s Perspective

In addition to his technical expertise, Lischka brings a personal passion
to the table. The industry expert is an avid off-road rider and already
rides KTM – a clear indication of his commitment to the brand, even beyond
his future role. As a motocross and enduro rally racer, he has firsthand
experience with the demands placed on materials, chassis, vehicle
dynamics, ergonomics, and durability. His racing achievements include
competing in the Roof of Africa and the Abu Dhabi Desert Challenge, as
well as setting a high-altitude record on Nevado Ojos del Salado in Chile.

“KTM is a brand where technology, innovation, motorsport, and emotion are
closely intertwined. That is exactly what makes this role particularly
exiting for me. My ambition is to work with the teams in Mattighofen to
develop products that are technologically advanced, perform well on and
off the road, and inspire our customers every day”, said Christof Lischka,
the future Chief Technology and Product Officer of KTM AG.

Lischka’s appointment reflects a principle that has always been central to
KTM: building the best motorcycles in their class, technologically and in
terms of riding dynamics and quality. As part of the strategic
realignment, quality and reliability are becoming even more important. 
What is proven on the racetrack flows directly into series production. KTM
AG is thus sending a clear signal that its commitment to setting new
benchmarks will continue.

The Executive Board of KTM AG is now complete with Christof Lischka and
boasts a broad range of expertise: Gottfried Neumeister (CEO), Petra
Preining (CFO), Stephan Reiff (CCO), and Christof Lischka (CTPO) together
form a compact leadership team covering all key competencies. The listed
Bajaj Mobility AG, as the parent company, will continue to be led by the
two Executive Board members, Gottfried Neumeister and Petra Preining.
