The consolidation of three similar strong trade sector associations operating together in the remanufacturing trade sector formed the foundation of the new logo. The universally recognised engine icon was used as the central design. It is made up of three colours that represent the three amalgamated strengths namely:  automotive engineering, automotive components and diesel fuel injection. The spark, strategically placed in the centre, is a powerful symbol of a healthy engine. It symbolises igniting a remanufactured engine and refers to new beginnings.
