The head of Stellantis NV’s Ram pickup brand said the automaker is open to revising a planned push into lower-cost countries, including Mexico, should President-elect Donald Trump impose new tariffs on the sector.

The company is exploring possible changes to its factory and supplier networks that could be employed if policies implemented by the incoming administration disrupt supply chains, said Chris Feuell, who took charge of Ram brand in June. She said the lessons learned during the pandemic about finding new suppliers and redesigning parts could come in handy during the next administration.
