Tavares speaks
Carlos Tavares, the former CEO of MegaconCern Stellantis, has made himself heard. He expects the European car industry to wait turbulent times.
As CEO of Stellantis, the huge car concerner, including brands such as Peugeot, Fiat and Opel, Carlos Tavares was one of the most important people in the car industry for years. Now the 66-year-old is in that area along the sidelines, because at the end of 2024 there was suddenly a line through his future at Stellantis. In his own words, he was not fired, but the departure came from a ‘very mature conversation’ with John Elkann, according to an interview with Bloomberg . In the same interview, he also shows that he cannot let the car industry completely let go from his wine farm in Portugal, although he already hints that we do not have to expect him back at the helm of a car manufacturer.
Tavares seems to find it at all, now that the European car industry is waiting for more turbulent years. According to him, it is in line with the expectation that several European car manufacturers cannot keep their heads above water and therefore mergers are inevitable. “That will happen, because the companies get into trouble.” He does not mention names, but his former competitor and former employer Renault has been mentioned for some time as a possible merger candidate, with or without Stellantis.
Tavares is also of the opinion that European car manufacturers can better focus on the higher segments, to make themselves more resilient against Chinese competition. He seems to expect that the Chinese cannot be stopped in the cheaper corner of Autoland. The Portuguese thinks that his successor, Antonio Philosa in these circumstances is a good choice: “Hopefully he will be sufficiently supported by the board. He is a logical and credible choice,” said the former CEO, who says he could have done things differently, but points out that Stellantis is profitable.
