Dr. Maik Schürmeyer studied Mechanical Engineering at RWTH Aachen University and Management Sciences at Tsinghua University in Beijing. He has more than 20 years of experience in the logistics industry – working as a consultant, as Head of Logistics in the food sector, and as a logistics professor.
In 2022, he founded MANSIO, a technology startup based in Aachen, specializing in the organization of relay transportation. In this model, two trucks approaching from opposite directions meet at a midway point, exchange trailers, and return to their home bases. This approach enables highly cost-efficient two-shift truck operations and allows drivers to spend nights at home. The MANSIO Relay Transport System is designed to support the efficient and safe deployment of electric – and even autonomous – trucks in long-haul freight transport.
