Chinese automotive logistics specialist AnJi and CEVA Logistics have signed agreements to renew their joint venture for another 15 years and to expand its business scope to non-automotive contract logistics in greater China.

According to the two companies, the name of the joint venture will change from AnJi-CEVA Automotive Logistics Co. Ltd. to AnJi-CEVA Logistics Co. Ltd. Apart from automotive logistics, the joint venture will initially also focus on the industrial, aerospace, technology, e-commerce, consumer and retail sectors.
