Cyngn’s DriveMod Tugger continues to prove its versatility and reliability across a wide range of operational environments, driving innovation and industry transformation. Several Cyngn customers have gone on the record to praise the benefits of the DriveMod Tugger (see below).

“I’d definitely recommend the DriveMod Tugger.” — Dave Hoover | VP of Technical Services at U.S. Continental Marketing.

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 automated, resulting in a 4x increase in operational efficiency.
