About
About Cyngn
Cyngn converts established industrial vehicles into autonomous material-handling systems through its DriveMod technology. Current integrations include the Motrec MT-160 tugger and BYD forklifts, allowing factories and warehouses to automate repetitive routes without installing fixed guidance infrastructure or replacing their existing cart and pallet workflows.
The DriveMod Tugger can haul up to 12,000 pounds indoors or outdoors and execute programmable missions including automatic unhitching. The forklift uses computer vision to analyse pallet stacks and fork pockets while handling loads above 10,000 pounds. Cyngn Insight provides central mission planning, live vehicle monitoring and operating analytics across the fleet. Both vehicle types have entered paid customer deployments, with forklift availability offered selectively.

Timeline
Events
- 2026-10-09 - Production Milestone - Cyngn reports more than 11,600 autonomous missions in the first nine months of 2026
DriveMod vehicles move materials along established routes between workstations, production areas and other facility locations. EasyLaunch supports initial adoption around a defined transport workflow, while Cyngn Insight provides fleet management for expanding operations.
Source - 2026-10-01 - Market Signal - Cyngn reports Q2 autonomous-fleet missions up 45%
June was a record month for fleet activity across deployed customer operations. DriveMod vehicles carry out recurring material-movement workflows at manufacturing and industrial sites. DriveMod Tuggers operate established routes and are managed through Cyngn Insight fleet-management software.
Source - 2026-09-30 - Regulatory - Cyngn achieves ISO/IEC 27001:2022 certification for Insight-supporting ISMS
Certification covers the supporting ISMS, including access, risk, incident response and data-protection controls. SOC 2 Type II examination is expected in October and remains forward-looking. The announcement concerns information security certification rather than autonomous driving or functional safety approval.
Source - 2026-03-31 - Deployment - Cyngn deploys four DriveMod Tuggers at Vann Family Orchards
The commercial deployment uses four DriveMod Tuggers to move raw materials between storage and processing areas across connected warehouses. The system replaces part of the facility's manual forklift transport while retaining human workers for loading and unloading in a hybrid workflow. Cyngn said the deployment expands DriveMod into agricultural processing, where throughput, safety and uptime are operationally critical.

The environment is based on NVIDIA Isaac Sim and supports development without requiring a physical vehicle for every iteration. Cyngn plans to use it for engineering, customer demonstrations and early-stage operator training.
Source - 2026-01-27 - Market Signal - Cyngn says DriveMod Tugger orders tripled year-over-year in 2025
Cyngn said DriveMod Tugger orders in 2025 were triple the 2024 level. The company reported customer facility visits, on-site demonstrations, software upgrades at active locations, and fleet preparation activity during the year. Cyngn said additional deployments are expected to begin in early 2026, including multi-vehicle implementations and expansions at existing customer sites.

G&J Pepsi signed a new purchase order for a multi-vehicle expansion of its DriveMod Tugger program after an earlier deployment at a single bottling plant. Cyngn said the order reflects G&J Pepsi's move toward broader autonomy across its distribution network, even before final site selection for the additional vehicles. The order marked a follow-on commercial commitment from an existing deployment customer rather than a first-time pilot or proof-of-concept installation.
Source - 2025-10-14 - Deployment - Cyngn deploys DriveMod Tugger at G&J Pepsi facility
Cyngn deployed a commercial DriveMod Tugger at G&J Pepsi to automate repetitive material-handling routes at a bottling facility. The installation followed a warehouse expansion and brought autonomous towing into a live consumer-packaged-goods distribution workflow. The initial operating deployment established the customer relationship before G&J Pepsi placed a later multi-vehicle expansion order.

The DriveMod Tugger is live at Coats’ more than 150,000-square-foot facility in La Vergne, Tennessee, moving wheel-service components between production lines. The deployment has freed more than 500 labour hours by reducing manual hauling and allowing employees to focus on higher-value production work. The vehicle operates on a Motrec MT-160 platform, supports indoor and outdoor travel and can haul up to 12,000 pounds; Coats describes the implementation as safe, consistent and easy to adopt.
