Six months after he quit as chief executive of automaker Stellantis NV, Carlos Tavares lives on a farm, makes port wine, and says he has sympathy for anyone stepping into the auto industry during the “chaos” of the US trade war.

Stellantis on Wednesday announced that Antonio Filosa, a top executive in the Dutch automaker's Americas branch, will become its next CEO.

Stellantis has named a new chief executive officer. The world’s fourth-largest car manufacturer is navigating the impact of U.S. tariffs, burgeoning competition from China and the transition to electric vehicles.
