WHAT DOES REBADGE MEAN IN ENGLISH?

rebadge

Rebadging

Rebadging, sometimes called badge engineering with varying degrees of sarcasm, is the application of a different brand or trademark to an existing product and subsequently marketing the variant as a distinct product. Due to the high cost of designing and engineering a new model or establishing a brand, it is less expensive to rebadge a product once or multiple times than to create different models. The term is a misnomer in that little actual engineering takes place; the ironic implication is that changing just a badge does not take much engineering effort. The term originated with the practice of replacing an automobile's emblems to create an ostensibly new model. Differences may be confined to simply badges and emblems, or may encompass minor styling differences, as with cosmetic differences to headlights, tail lights, and front and rear fascias. More extreme examples involve differing engines and drivetrains.
