- Hubbert finished school in 1959 with a high school diploma and then studied mechanical engineering and automotive engineering at the University of Stuttgart. In 1965 he completed his studies as a qualified engineer. Hubbert then joined Daimler-Benz AG to work as a technical planner in process development at their factory in Sindelfingen. In 1974 he was appointed head of the main "work preparation" department. As such, he planned and accompanied the further expansion of the Sindelfingen factory and the construction of the Bremen production facilities. In 1985, Hubbert took over the "Group Planning" directorate at Daimler's headquarters. In this department, which reported directly to the group's CEO, he coordinated group planning and headed the product commissions for passenger car and commercial vehicle production. In 1987, Hubbert was promoted to deputy board member of Daimler-Benz AG. On the board, he was now responsible for the passenger car division together with Werner Niefer.
As part of the restructuring of the group, Hubbert was appointed a full member of the board of Mercedes-Benz AG, which was newly founded in 1988 and which from then on combined the production of passenger cars and commercial vehicles. On the board of the new subsidiary, under the chairmanship of Helmut Werner, he headed the passenger car division from 1990 onward. In this role, Hubbert was involved in the development of the A-Class models, which were manufactured in Rastatt and in Brazil, and those built in the USA M-Class and the CLK coupe manufactured in Bremen. In 1994, the group also decided, in collaboration with Nicolas Hayek from the Swiss Society for Microelectronics and Watchmaking (SMH), to build the so-called "Swatch car", which then came onto the market in 1998 as "Smart". After Jürgen E. Schrempp took over as CEO of Daimler-Benz AG in the spring of 1995, Mercedes-Benz AG was merged with Daimler-Benz AG in 1997 as part of the group's restructuring.
Hubbert now joined their board of directors to be responsible for the passenger car business area again. In the same year, the accident of an A-Class test vehicle that overturned during a Swedish car magazine's so-called "moose test" threatened Daimler's reputation. The group managed to restore its reputation through extensive retrofitting. Since Daimler's merger with Chrysler Corp. In November 1998, Hubbert was on the board of DaimlerChrysler responsible for the Mercedes Car Group business unit. These included passenger cars from the brands Mercedes-Benz, Maybach and Smart as well as Mercedes-Benz AMG and Mercedes-Benz McLaren. In addition to his managerial position at Daimler, Hubbert also held a teaching position at the Faculty of Mechanical Engineering at the Technical University of Karlsruhe since the beginning of the 1990s.
In 1998 he was awarded an honorary professorship by the Technical University of Karlsruhe. Jürgen Hubbert retired on October 1, 2004. His successor was Dr. Eckhard Cordes. On December 14, 2004 he was awarded the Cross of Merit 1st Class of the Order of Merit of the Federal Republic of Germany.
