Automate Your Material Handling

DriveMod Tuggers never take a vacation, don't make human errors, and always get the job done.

We've partnered with Motrec, a trusted industrial vehicle manufacturer, to integrate DriveMod into their fleet of heavy-duty tuggers to transform them into intelligent self-driving robots. This makes our AMRs familiar to operate and a breeze to maintain.

Cyngn’s AMRs really unlocks the potential for us to increase throughput and decrease time to market from the manufacturing floor. Their vehicles enable us to concentrate on efficiency and we’re really excited to increase profitability, improve our service levels, and get to market faster than our competitors.

The self-driving tugger from Cyngn was the perfect solution to support our strategy of advancing automation and incorporating scalable technology seamlessly into our operations. With its high load capacity, we can concentrate on increasing our ability to manage heavier components and bulk orders, driving greater efficiency, reducing costs, and accelerating delivery timelines.

The bottom line is DriveMod has made us more productive. Instead of manually moving goods through the warehouse, our team can stay focused on picking, packing, and other high-value assignments.
