Six months after he quit as chief executive of automaker Stellantis NV, Carlos Tavares lives on a farm, makes port wine, and says he has sympathy for anyone stepping into the auto industry during the “chaos” of the US trade war.

On Wednesday, Stellantis named Antonio Filosa its new CEO. Filosa is a company veteran picked, in part, because of his US experience, finally replacing Tavares, who stepped down in December after presiding over slumping sales and profit.
