MENLO PARK, Calif., July 11, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Cyngn Inc. (Nasdaq: CYN) today announced the expansion of its dealer network to include Alta Equipment Group. The purveyor of both construction and material handling equipment will begin selling Cyngn's autonomous DriveMod Tugger. The DriveMod Tugger bundles Cyngn's autonomous vehicle technology with Motrec's MT-160.

"Alta has an impressive record of sales, and we are thrilled to have Cyngn's autonomous vehicles included in their catalog," said Lior Tal, CEO of Cyngn. "Motrec's industrial vehicles are renowned for their high towing capacity and reliability. With their extensive dealer coverage across North America, we are excited to equip Alta with the tools and training needed to offer our self-driving industrial vehicles to their customers. Their success is integral to our success."

This announcement follows two significant milestones for Cyngn: the launch of the DriveMod Tugger and the Cyngn Dealer Network in the fall of 2023. Cyngn has continued to grow its Dealer Network, including the recent addition of RobotLab, a robotics company with over 10,000 robots deployed.

Alta's decision to join Cyngn's Dealer Network came after a successful summit at Cyngn's Menlo Park headquarters, where key decision-makers experienced the company's autonomous mobile robots (AMRs) firsthand.

"We know of several customers who would greatly benefit from the DriveMod Tugger," said Marc Breton, Motrec's Vice President of Sales. "Autonomous industrial vehicle technology is already making a significant impact at manufacturing and logistics facilities, and we've gotten a great response from our sales channels to introducing an automated version of a tried and true high-tow capacity vehicle like the MT-160 that is known for its quality."

Cyngn plans to continue expanding its Dealer Network by adding more distribution and integration partners in the future.
