Growth in missions, distance traveled, and autonomous driving hours reflects increasing utilization across deployed customer operations

MOUNTAIN VIEW, Calif., Oct. 1, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Cyngn (NASDAQ:CYN) today announced continued growth in the utilization of its autonomous vehicle fleet during the second quarter of 2026, with autonomous missions increasing 45% quarter over quarter and June marking a record month for fleet activity.

Cyngn’s DriveMod Autonomous Tugger is designed for repetitive material movement within manufacturing and industrial facilities. The system operates along established routes and is managed through Cyngn Insight, the company’s fleet management software.

The increase was reflected across multiple measures of real-world vehicle utilization. During the second quarter, distance traveled increased 67% quarter over quarter, while autonomous driving hours increased 55%.

The increase comes as Cyngn continues to focus its commercial strategy on moving autonomous vehicles beyond initial deployment and into recurring industrial workflows. Across customer sites, DriveMod vehicles perform repetitive material movement tasks designed to reduce manual transportation work and help facilities operate more efficiently.

"An autonomous vehicle creates the most value when it becomes part of the everyday operation," said Cyngn CEO, Lior Tal. "What we are seeing across the fleet is increasing utilization as customers incorporate autonomous material movement into their regular workflows."

Cyngn's DriveMod Autonomous Tugger is designed for repetitive material movement within manufacturing and industrial facilities. The system operates along established routes and is managed through Cyngn Insight, the company's fleet management software.

The second-quarter utilization growth provides another measure of that progression, with increases in missions, driving hours, and distance traveled culminating in record fleet activity during June.
