These deals demonstrate further penetration into the automotive sector as well as the applicability of its autonomous industrial haulers to other manufacturing and distribution use cases.
In the automotive manufacturing sector, Cyngn continued to make notable inroads. The company has now conducted DriveMod deployments with five major OEMs and Tier‑1 suppliers across the U.S. and Mexico.
Beyond automotive, Cyngn expanded into new verticals in Q1. DriveMod vehicles have now been used in manufacturing, CPG, logistics and defense environments. "The strong demand we're seeing across different industries highlights the widespread need for our DriveMod technology," said Cyngn CEO Lior Tal. These multi‑industry deployments validate the scalability and adaptability of Cyngn's AV solutions, reinforcing the industry's growing appetite for automation.
In addition to regaining Nasdaq compliance in Q1, Cyngn also invested in its sales team to accelerate fleet‐scale deployments. This investment comes on the heels of expanding its management ranks with the hiring of industry veteran Marty Petraitis as VP of Sales in Q4 2024.
"Cyngn is poised for growth as demonstrated by getting into a cadence of booking new business for DriveMod Tuggers quarter-over-quarter. We have aligned our Go-To-Market strategy with target companies where our Autonomous Vehicles show a demonstrable business payback," said Petraitis.
Overall, the first quarter's achievements – from new contract wins to technological milestones – provide strong market validation of Cyngn's strategy. Management remains confident that this cross‑sector commercial traction and an expanding pipeline will translate into revenue growth in the quarters ahead, as Cyngn continues executing on its roadmap to scale autonomous material handling solutions.
