MOUNTAIN VIEW, Calif., DEC 16, 2025 – Cyngn (NASDAQ: CYN) today announced that G&J Pepsi has signed a new purchase order for a multi-vehicle expansion of its DriveMod Tugger program. The order represents a continuation of G&J Pepsi’s shift toward scaled autonomy across its distribution network.

This next phase of deployment is notable because G&J Pepsi has not yet finalized which facilities will receive the vehicles. The decision to move forward ahead of site selection reflects the consistency of DriveMod’s performance and its applicability across a range of workflows.

“Customers increasingly view autonomy as a strategic capability rather than a point solution tied to a single use case,” said Lior Tal, Cyngn’s CEO. “When organizations commit to additional vehicles before identifying their specific assignments, it signals a high level of confidence in both the technology and the operational return it delivers across different environments.”

“Expanding our DriveMod program reflects the results we’ve already seen and the broader potential we believe autonomy holds for our network,” said Jeff Erwin, VP, Manufacturing & Quality at G&J Pepsi. “We’re moving forward with additional vehicles before finalizing their facility assignments because the value is clear: the technology performs consistently, integrates cleanly, and gives us a scalable path to strengthening productivity across our operations.”

The expansion builds on the previously announced DriveMod deployment within G&J Pepsi’s warehousing operations. G&J Pepsi, the largest independent Pepsi bottler in the United States, serves customers throughout Ohio and Kentucky with a portfolio of more than 650 products, supported by a workforce of over 1,900 employees.

Cyngn’s autonomous vehicle technology is designed to streamline repetitive material handling tasks, reduce operational variability, and support productivity improvements across large-scale distribution centers. The forthcoming multi-vehicle deployment will allow G&J Pepsi to extend these efficiencies across additional sites within its network.
