New Stelllantis CEO Antonio Filosa, who took over the higher post a week ago, made his first major leadership movement, promoting Tim Kuniskis to supervise all American brands and marketing and retail strategy in North America.
Kuniskis remains CEO of RAM. He now has a broader role in the company’s American operations. Kuniskis, who left his retirement after seven months, returned to Stellantis at the end of last year after the former CEO of Stellantis, Carlos Tavares, resigned unexpectedly.
Stellantis also brings back the performance division of street and race technologies.
SRT will combine the engineers of Dodger, Jeep, Ram and Chrysler and will focus on high -performance vehicles and sports sports.
“SRT is another box that we had to check,” Kuniskis said in a press release on Wednesday. “We restore the group.”
Kuniskis also runs a major launch of products at RAM as part of an effort to combat one year sales drops. The brand plans to launch 25 new products in the next 18 months.
Earlier this month, Kuniskis announced the return of its popular V-8 HEMI engines for its full-size RAM 1500 vans. RAM plans to offer the engine again at the beginning of 2026.
