Recent Operating Highlights:
MENLO PARK, Calif., Nov. 6, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Cyngn (or the "Company") (Nasdaq: CYN), developer of industrial autonomous vehicles, today announced financial results for its third quarter, ended September 30, 2024.
"Our third quarter marked meaningful additional commercial traction of our autonomous DriveMod technology," said Lior Tal, Cyngn CEO. "Building on the progress we made with direct sales efforts in the first half of the year, including being selected by Deere to supply the DriveMod Tugger, we have expanded our strategy to increase our channel sales efforts.
"We have also achieved a significant milestone with the first paid deployment of our DriveMod Forklift, an important progression into sales activities after initial R&D and projects focused on funding development."
"Through our OEM partner Motrec, we are able to expand our sales strategy beyond direct sales by leveraging a strong incumbent dealer network while also adding specialized distributors and system integrators like Kennedy Robotics AI and RobotLAB.
"By expanding our sales and distribution collaborations, we are enhancing our sales channels and creating consistent opportunities that strengthen our sales pipeline."
In addition to increasing lead generation and building a more robust pipeline, we also hired Marty Petraitis, a seasoned vet of the industrial automation industry, as our VP of Sales to capitalize on our growing opportunities. Broadly, our sales pipeline has matured into more advanced stages as per the process outlined in our recent update. We are actively converting more Pilot Purchases, creating a larger pool of existing and newly onboarded customers to grow into Fleet Purchases.
We are continuing to see validation of our solution through traction in heavy manufacturing industries like automotive and defense, highlighted by the first deployments of our next-generation 12,000 lb. DriveMod Tugger at customer facilities and multiple new customer contracts and LOIs as outlined above.
The next-gen DriveMod Tugger boasts increased towing capacity and enhanced autonomous capabilities that enable it to support outdoor operations. These improvements have expanded our use cases, broadened the environments where our autonomous vehicles deliver value, and ultimately created new sales opportunities.
Having ramped up the production of our DriveMod Tugger, we have also been able to shift to revenue-generating activities with our autonomous forklift solution. Our first paid DriveMod Forklift deployment marks a key turning point in monetizing the valuable solution offered by an autonomous forklift.
The global forklift market is expected to double to $103.9 billion by 2031. The opportunity for autonomous forklifts is significant, and this milestone positions us for the critical next steps that will result in the DriveMod Forklift being widely available to under-served forklift automation applications that require >10,000 lb. load capacity and use non-standard pallets.
