With the implementation of Romania’s industrialization plan in the 1950s, production activities at Electroprecizia Săcele factory has been oriented towards manufacturing electrical equipment for tractors and trucks. New investments were made, so that in 1955 the production of automotive electrical equipment exceeded that of electric motors. It was during this period when the new electromechanical engineer Mircea Cristea (1926–1963) got a job at Electroprecizia Sǎcele, soon becoming one of the basic pillars of the enterprise in designing and launching electrical equipment into production. The activity of innovator and good organizer engineer Mircea Cristea continued within the Faculty of Mechanics of the Polytechnic Institute of Brasov, where, as a teacher, he contributed in 1962 to the establishment of the study program of Electromechanics and of the Department of Electrotechnics and Electrical Machines, as well as to the introduction of the discipline of Automotive Electrical Equipment. A supporter of electrotechnical education, with developments in the field of automotive electrical equipment, was Professor Ioan Valer Matlac (1939–2015) who formed research teams in the field and who introduced the discipline of Automotive Electrical Equipment into the specializations of Electromechanics, Electrotechnics, continuing the collaboration with the Department of Automotive within the Polytechnic Institute of Brasov. This article analyses and highlights the activity of these two personalities who contributed to the development and implementation of the production of electrical equipment for automotive and promoted the electrotechnical higher education in Brasov in this field.
