This first look video is a part of a previously announced partnership with Motrec to launch an industry-leading autonomous tugger, which boasts a 57-inch turn radius, a robust 6,000-pound towing capacity, and auto-unhitching capabilities. A motor controller upgrade is in progress that will increase the towing capacity to 12,000 pounds in the coming months.

The powerful material handling vehicles offered by Motrec, a globally recognized manufacturer of industrial vehicles, combined with Cyngn's advanced AI-driven autonomous technology, DriveMod, enable organizations to improve goods transportation cost-effectively and safely.

By integrating Cyngn's DriveMod technology for advanced autonomous operation, the DriveMod Tugger includes a range of valuable features for customers:

1. Multi-layer perception. Leverages DriveMods 360-degree robust methodology for detecting and classifying objects and obstacles that includes AI models, existence-based detection, and an emergency braking system.
2. Data analytics with Cyngn Insight. DriveMod Kit introduces sensors to log operational data that customers can access through Cyngn Insight’s cloud-based dashboards to continually improve how they get work done.
3. Lighting System. Communicates the vehicle's actions to nearby employees.
4. Dual Displays. Allow employees working alongside the vehicles to command their DriveMod Tuggers through on-vehicle interfaces.
5. Manual Mode. Enables operators to switch between autonomous and manual modes to complete ad hoc jobs.
6. Robust Towing. Tow multiple carts, totaling up to 6,000 pounds (with upgrade to 12,000 pounds expected later this year).
7. Auto-Unhitch Capabilities. Eliminate the need for human intervention when releasing towed carts, creating flexibility for material handling employees by removing the requirement to meet vehicles at destinations for unloading.
