The DGS has been founded in 1975, right after the first oil shock, and played a key role in starting the renewable energy revolution in Germany.

Since the beginning of 2006 Tomi Engel is the head of the DGS Working Group on Solar Mobility. In that function he researched the issues of CO2-emissions from electric vehicles and published a book on the impact of Plug-in Hybrids in respect to Germanies CO2-reduction goals.

Currently his main focus is on how to integrate large fleets of electric vehicles into a 100% renewable combined power plant energy system. In this role he is giving talks in many countries.
