Cyngn, an autonomous forklift provider, has announced that it will deploy its DriveMod Tugger at a global Fortune 500 automotive supplier which has not been disclosedÂ
The supplier plans to integrate Cyngn’s DriveMod Tuggers to automate the transfer of finished goods. This announcement builds on Cyngn’s previous partnerships, including a commercial contract with a major manufacturer in the automotive service equipment space and a letter of intent signed in Q4 2024.
The decision to incorporate automation comes at a time when recent tariffs on steel and aluminium imports have heightened the need for efficiency in US manufacturing.
While these tariffs are designed to support domestic production, they have also increased material costs and inflationary pressures.
Marty Petraitis, VP sales at Cyngn said: “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.
“We’re excited to see our AV solution enhance efficiency and scalability, ensuring manufacturers remain competitive in an ever-changing market.”
