Cyngn Inc. stated that the first build of the next-generation 12,000-pound DriveMod Tugger was completed successfully at the factory of its OEM partner, Motrec International Inc. This significant milestone completes the previously announced improvement, increasing towing capability from 6,000 lb to 12,000 lb, and represents a step forward in integrating Cyngn’s proprietary DriveMod technology with Motrec’s MT-160 tow tractor at scale.
Collaboration is critical for lowering production costs and providing more efficient logistics to end customers. By using Motrec’s manufacturing skills and infrastructure, the DriveMod Tugger can meet Motrec’s existing high criteria for vehicle performance and dependability.
“Our partnership exemplifies a synergistic collaboration between a high-tech company and an established OEM,” stated Cyngn’s Vice President of Business Development, Ben Landen. “Building the first DriveMod Tugger at Motrec’s facility highlights another positive step of validation for our strategy that includes leveraging complementary strengths between partners to bring the best combination of products, services, and support to the industrial automation market.”
“Beginning to build DriveMod Tuggers at our facility reinforces our commitment to innovation and demonstrates our ability to evolve with the needs of our customers who are actively seeking automation solutions,” says Marc Breton, vice president of sales at Motrec. “We are excited to continue enhancing the vehicles we offer with Cyngn’s cutting-edge technology that builds on our long track record of high-quality, reliable material handling solutions.”
The next-generation DriveMod Tugger is designed to streamline repetitive hauling tasks such as moving finished goods or delivering supplies. It has a towing capacity of 12,000 pounds, automatic unhitching, two ruggedized touch-screen user interfaces, safety lights and indicators, and the Cyngn Insight data and fleet management software suite. DriveMod Tuggers have already been deployed at client locations and are available for purchase.
