Cyngn Inc. has announced the first build of the next-generation 12,000 lb DriveMod Tugger has been completed at the facility of its OEM partner, Motrec International Inc. This key milestone achieves the previously announced upgrade that increases towing capacity from 6,000 lb to 12,000 lb and marks a step forward for integrating Cyngn’s proprietary DriveMod technology with Motrec’s MT-160 tow tractor at scale.
The collaboration plays a crucial role in reducing production costs and delivering more streamlined logistics to end customers. By leveraging Motrec’s manufacturing expertise and infrastructure, the DriveMod Tugger can provide exceptional standards of vehicle performance and reliability that Motrec is already known for.
