Rivian CEO Rivian Automotive executive Tim Fallon has joined European automaker Stellantis NV as the head of manufacturing in North America.
Rivian Automotive高管Tim Fallon已加入欧洲汽车制造商Stellantis NV，担任北美制造业负责人。
What Happened: At Stellantis, Fallon will lead North American manufacturing, including electric vehicles, effective Sept. 2, the company said. Fallon replaces Mike Resha who will now assume global responsibility for Injection and Stamping Operations.

Fallon was Vice President of Manufacturing Operations at California-based EV maker Rivian. It is not clear if he has already resigned.
Fallon曾是总部位于加利福尼亚州的新能源车制造商Rivian的制造运营副总裁。目前尚不清楚他是否已经辞职。
Rivian CEO RJ Scaringe told the company in a mail seen by Benzinga that Carlo Materazzo, VP of Supply Chain and Logistics, will step in top lead manufacturing in the interim and report to Javier Varela.
Rivian首席执行官RJ Scaringe在公司邮件中告知Benzinga，供应链和物流副总裁Carlo Materazzo将在中间期间接任制造业务，并向Javier Varela汇报。

Fallon's appointment at Stellantis comes on the heels of the company reporting a 48% fall in net profit to €5.6 billion ($6.22 billion) for the first half of 2024 and a 14% fall in net revenue to €85 billion, owing to a dip in market share in North America.
Fallon在Stellantis的任命是在该公司报告2024年上半年净利润下降48%至56亿欧元（622亿美元），净营业收入下降14%至850亿欧元之后进行的，原因是在北美市场份额下降。
During the company's earnings call last month, Stellantis CEO Carlos Tavares said that the company has "significant work to do, especially in North America."

This comes amid reports that Tavares is slated to visit Detroit this week to devise a strategy to revitalize its struggling North American operations.
