Stellantis NV has sent its auto engineers back to the office, reversing a policy that Chief Executive Officer Carlos Tavares has used to cut expenses at a company that championed home working in the wake of the pandemic.

Engineers have been at the office at least three days a week since January, with some there as many as six days when a new car is introduced, said Ned Curic, who heads engineering and technology at Stellantis.
