A new brand identity and strategy in China
Over the past ten years, PEUGEOT has established itself as an innovative, high-end generalist brand. The design of its new products and its new technologies have contributed to its move upmarket and strengthened its brand image. PEUGEOT unveiled its new logo and identity on 25 February, opening a new era for the brand.
“We have a strong global ambition. PEUGEOT will leverage its upscale, electrified models and new products, including the new SUVs, to set new standards and deliver an exceptional driving experience. China is one of the most important markets for PEUGEOT. The new 4008 and 5008 embody the best of PEUGEOT’s design and technology, including the i-Cockpit, which changes with each launch to provide an unparalleled driving experience. These new SUVs will most definitely meet the expectations of Chinese customers,” said Linda Jackson, CEO of PEUGEOT.
2021 marks the 17th year of DONGFENG PEUGEOT’s commitment to the Chinese market. Based on the principle of its Yuan+ strategy, the company is adapting to market trends to build the image of a “Designer Brand” among trendy Chinese customers. It will offer a digital ecosystem that will provide them with a high-quality mobility service, which promises 100% satisfaction on service, quality and warranty.
DONGFENG PEUGEOT will roll out its new identity in conjunction with these new mobility services. The new logo will be rolled out in communications, across the network and on the vehicles. The brand plans to renovate 40 points of sale in 2021 and to renovate its entire network over the next three years. The first vehicle with the new logo will be launched in 2022.
Chen Bin, assistant to the president of DONGFENG Automobile Group Co. Ltd, General Manager and Party Committee Secretary of DPCA, said that DONGFENG PEUGEOT has always kept pace with the innovations and trends of the times and adjusted its strategy to meet customers’ demands. With its new brand identity and its new products and services, DONGFENG PEUGEOT will embark in a new era of growth.
