Cyngn DriveMod Tugger for Automotive

Cyngn Inc. will be deploying its DriveMod Tugger at a global Fortune 500 automotive supplier.

This milestone highlights Cyngn’s growing proven ability to meet the unique demands of the automotive manufacturing industry and deliver innovative autonomous vehicle (AV) solutions. The automotive supplier company—whose name is withheld for confidentiality—intends to integrate DriveMod Tuggers to automate the transfer of finished goods.

Cyngn’s solutions continue to provide value within the sector, with this announcement building on the company’s prior commercial contract with a separate, major manufacturer in the automotive service equipment space and a letter of intent that was signed in Q4.

Additionally, Cyngn signed a recent contract to deploy DriveMod Tuggers with a major consumer packaged goods (CPG) company in January.

“The automotive industry is increasingly looking for technology that not only meets immediate needs—like high-demand, high-uptime requirements—but also adapts to market and economic shifts,” said Marty Petraitis.

“Our DriveMod Tugger, with a 12,000-pound towing capacity, is built to do both. We’re excited to see our AV solution enhance efficiency and scalability, ensuring manufacturers remain competitive in an ever-changing market.”

Factors such as recent tariffs and shifts in economic policies have underscored the critical need for automation in U.S. manufacturing.

The implementation of tariffs on steel and aluminum imports aims to bolster domestic production but also poses challenges like increased material costs and potential inflation.  These developments highlight the importance of integrating advanced autonomous vehicle (AV) solutions, such as Cyngn‘s DriveMod Tugger, to enhance operational efficiency, reduce dependency on fluctuating labor markets, and maintain competitiveness in a dynamic global market.
