Stelantis has made a quiet movement that could reshape the American brands for US performance. The auto industry company announced Tim Konescis, a major figure in Dodge Modern Renaissance Automotive Automotive to drive a newly created role: the head of American brands and the marketing and retail strategy in North America.
Submit reports to Antonio Villaosa, who was recently appointed CEO of Stelantis, Kuniskis, who will after RAM in December 2024, will keep his title as a truck brand executive, but he will now work with Chryler, Jeep and Dodge to tighten marketing and modification links.
During the era of former CEO Carlos Tavarez, the price of Stelncis shares in the United States decreased sharply with Supply days double To 122 for Dodge, 114 for Jeep, and 107 for RAM, much higher than the 75 -year -old industry base. The merchants were very straightforward around the leadership of companies at the head, with a lot of minerals that were not sold on many agents.
“Tim has repeatedly proved that he was adept at building brands that reach the heart and spirit of the customer.” – Anthony Velaosa, CEO, Stelnches
But with the new leadership comes hope. In Kuniskis, Dodge and Jeep lovers see a hero who speaks their language. Timothy Koniskes, who joined Chrysler in 1992, has played a set of roles through multiple brands.
During his previous term in Dodge, based on the strong positions of the charger and the competitor already, with the likes of Rideye, The Super Stock, and most importantly, The Demon. He also restarted direct contact, giving faster parts DIY DIY with factory guarantee.
Reviving street technology and iconic race (SRT) is very symbolic and a great starting point. The Renwed SRT performance department will supervise direct communication, North America’s auto initiatives during the Kreisler era, Dodge, Jeep Memory, and RAM, including participation in NHRA and RAM recently announced to return to the NASCAR truck chain in 2026. From the clouds bar to the road, SRT will mainly lead the road, when it comes to developing a performance vehicle , This indicates my appreciation.
“We are returning the band together. SRT is another box that we need to verify while we are going to the release of products, allowing more performance than we have seen before. We are working with the Organization for our products Development and Technology to determine the best engineers in power generation and vehicle dynamics to build a team worth SRT.” – Tim Concesx
Although MPAR fans should satisfy, there is still a lot to do. The new role gives him the authority to reduce enlarged stocks, right incentives, and re -focus his efforts on the basic values of the brand. For Chryler, this may mean, finally, to accelerate the long -time EV portfolio, for the Jeep brand, the most simplified hierarchical sequences, and for the dodge, we already know about the six Dynona packages working in the gas, but Hobi will really win the lame in Mobar.
Stelantis simply cannot carry another year of sliding sales and erosion of the agent’s confidence. With the return of Kuniskis to the driver’s seat, the company does not refresh only SRT, it is a belief, and for fans of the American performance, its date should indicate renewed optimism of American muscles and abroad.
