MOUNTAIN VIEW, Calif., October 23, 2025 – Cyngn (Nasdaq: CYN) today released a case study interview highlighting U.S. Continental’s deployment of the autonomous DriveMod Tugger, which transports pallets outdoors between buildings and automates material movement across the facility.

Watch the full case study video here:

Before adopting Cyngn’s autonomous technology, U.S. Continental relied on a substantial manual effort—approximately 200 forklift trips per week—to handle pallet deliveries between the two buildings.

Since deploying the DriveMod Tugger, this workload has been seamlessly absorbed by automation, significantly reducing manual labor and bringing greater efficiency to their operation.

As a result, the company has experienced a 4x increase in operational efficiency.

“After we deployed the tuggers, our efficiency in the warehouse increased,” said Dave Hoover, VP of Technical Services at U.S. Continental. “On a forklift, we are taking one pallet at a time, and with the tugger, we can move four pallets at once."

"I'd definitely recommend Cyngn to warehouse facilities looking to automate their processes. It's going to help them reduce their manpower, increase their efficiency, and build a better process."

Designed to operate in clear, dry environments, the DriveMod Tugger transports goods outside as well as inside, providing greater flexibility for material handling across different areas of the facility.

“The Tugger’s ability to autonomously drive outside underscores the versatility and dependability of our technology in real-world conditions,” said Cyngn CEO, Lior Tal. “We're proud to support our longstanding partner in helping them achieve greater efficiency, safety, and flexibility."

According to Hoover, the use of the autonomous tugger has allowed U.S. Continental to redeploy their labor in the warehouse to more value-added processes, such as performing cycle counts, picking additional orders, and following up on discrepancies.
