Kuniskis Appointed by Stellantis CEO to Lead North America, SRT Segment Revived

Antonio Filosa, freshly appointed as the head of Stellantis, has taken a significant step by naming Tim Kuniskis as the leader for American brands and spearheading North American marketing and retail strategies.

Kuniskis, after having a short hiatus of seven months, resumed his responsibilities at Stellantis following the abrupt resignation of the previous chief executive. He now takes on expanded responsibilities within the U.S. sector of the company.

The revival of the once-discontinued Street and Racing Technology (SRT) division marks another major decision by Stellantis. This performance-focused team will collaborate with engineers from Dodge, Jeep, Ram, and Chrysler, with an emphasis on creating high-power vehicles and engaging in motorsports.

Expressing his enthusiasm, Kuniskis mentioned, "Reviving SRT was essential for us; it's like reuniting a much-anticipated team."

Furthering his leadership role, Kuniskis is at the forefront of a significant product initiative for the Ram brand, aimed at combating declining sales trends. Over the next 18 months, Ram is set to unveil 25 new products.

Kuniskis recently disclosed the comeback of a popular engine option for Ram 1500 pickup trucks, with plans to reintroduce it in 2026.
