In tandem with the logo refresh, CIMC has also comprehensively upgraded its broader brand philosophy to create clearer alignment between its strategic direction, business portfolio, and brand expression:

• Brand Positioning: A global leader in logistics, energy equipment and services
• Brand Slogan: Driving the world to move better
• Brand Mission: CIMC is committed to harnessing technological innovation to provide global customers with high-quality, advanced equipment, services, and solutions. The company also supports the sustainable development of the logistics and energy industries and contributes to a better life for all.

By standardizing brand expression, strengthening global communications, and enhancing brand experience and awareness, the company aims to expand its global presence, reinforce its reputation, and build credibility, driving sustainable growth across international markets.

As it enters this next phase, CIMC will move forward under its refreshed brand identity and unified brand philosophy. With a more open, modern, and trusted approach, the company will collaborate closely with customers, partners, and communities worldwide to drive the world to move better.
