   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.
