About CIMC Vehicles Group
CIMC Vehicles Group, a subsidiary of China International Marine Containers (Group) Ltd. (CIMC), is a global manufacturer engaged in the production and sale of semi-trailers and truck bodies for specialty vehicles. The company began its semi-trailer business in 2002 and has been the world's largest manufacturer by sales volume since 2013. Its establishment was driven by CIMC Group's president, Mai Boliang, who identified the market potential for van trailers resembling 'containers with wheels' during a trip to Australia in 1999.
The company's product portfolio is extensive, featuring seven major categories of semi-trailers and various truck bodies. Key semi-trailer products include container chassis, flatbed trailers, fence trailers, van trailers, refrigerated trailers, and tank trailers. For specialty vehicles, the company manufactures dump beds for dump trucks and mixers for mixer trucks. CIMC Vehicles also produces innovative new energy products, such as truck bodies for electric heavy trucks and fully electric tractor-trailers. The company operates globally, with a presence in over 40 countries and key markets in China, North America, and Europe. It manages a portfolio of brands including “CIMC,” “Vanguard,” “SDC,” and “LAG.”
CIMC Vehicles' business model is centered on a strategy of “Intercontinental Operation, Local Manufacturing.” This is supported by a network of manufacturing and assembly plants worldwide, including numerous facilities designated as “Light Tower” plants which incorporate automation and intelligent systems. The company generates revenue through the sale of its wide range of vehicles and also provides after-sales services. Listed on both the Hong Kong Stock Exchange (HKEx: 1839) and Shenzhen Stock Exchange (SZSE: 301039.SZ), the company is led by Chairman Mai Boliang and CEO and President Li Guiping.
