MOUNTAIN VIEW, Calif., March 4, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Cyngn, Inc. (the "Company" or "Cyngn") (NASDAQ:CYN) today announced a commercial contract to deploy its DriveMod Tugger at a WEG manufacturing facility in Bluffton, Indiana. The deployment will support WEG's efforts to reallocate forklift labor from routine material transport to higher-value production and warehouse tasks.

The DriveMod Tugger will automate the movement of electric motor components between machining and warehouse areas, replacing manual forklift runs that previously moved single pallets at a time. The autonomous system supports the transport of up to 60 pallets per day, stabilizing material flow while reducing non-value-added driving and congestion on the factory floor.

"At WEG, material handlers were spending a significant portion of their time on repetitive transport runs," said Lior Tal, Cyngn's Chairman and Chief Executive Officer. "This deployment allows forklifts and skilled labor to remain focused on machining and warehouse operations, while DriveMod handles predictable, repeatable movement. We believe it's a clear example of how autonomy can improve safety, utilization, and operational efficiency in manufacturing."

WEG is a global industrial manufacturer with reported revenue of approximately $7 billion in 2024, operating branches in 41 countries with a portfolio spanning more than 1,500 product lines across five continents.
