MILAN, Feb 3 (Reuters) - Stellantis ( STLA ) announced

on Monday an internal overhaul aimed at simplifying its

structure and speeding up processes, as the carmaker presses

ahead with a reorganisation it started after former CEO Carlos

Tavares left in December.

As part of the plan, Stellantis ( STLA ) said in a statement it

integrated its software and engineering activities and gave

greater powers to its regional heads in product planning and

development, industrial and commercial activities.

The carmaker, which is seeking a new CEO and is currently

steered by Chairman John Elkann, also announced changes to its

top management structure, including the appointment of Alain

Favey as the new head of the Peugeot brand.
