He took a degree in machine engineer
at the Technical University Budapest in 1899 -
with an excellent record. His professor, Mr. Emil
Asbóth attracted the attention of his talent soon. When Mr.
Asbóth had known in Augsburg that Mr. Diesel is looking for
colleagues, he recommended him the young
engineer, who finished his service by the navy in
Pula (today in Croatia). His trial period began in October 1899 and was gave him a permanent post
in February 1900. Mr. Diesel was satisfied with his
work, but he left the AG für
Dieselmotoren (Diesel Engine Co.) in
September 1901 because he wanted to utilize his experiences and his knowledge
in construction for Diesel engine somewhere else. At
first he leaded the department and the workshop of Diesel
engine construction in the Ganz and Co.'s factory in
Leobersdorf, than went to Belgium where he introduced the
production of Diesel engine by S.A. des Ateliers Carels
Freres, Gand Company. In 1904 he got to England where he
worked as main engineer by the Diesel Engine Co. Ltd. and came
to home in autumn the same year and worked as leader of the
department and technical director again in the factory of Ganz
and Co. in Leobersdorf.
His life's next station was the Italian company Franco Tosi,
Legnano where he was leader and main engineer the engine's
department one year long. On 20th June 1910 he got
"to home" again as company leader main engineer - to
the Company Ganz and Co. Budapest. He was here
as technical director leader of the engine's department till
1919. He had
big merits by the propagation of Diesel engine in international
relations, too. He had big role in the Ganz Factory in
that to create the preconditions for the establishment of the
Diesel-Jendrassik's engine production which demand a big
productional precision. He stayed in
the Ganz and Co. Wagon and Machine Factory to 1921 than he secured the needs of
cooler of the whole Hungarian vehicle production with the
improve of the Ikarus Cooler and Metalware Ltd. which
he established with Mr. Eugene Vécsey. From this grew out the
