Cyngn and Columbia Vehicle Group announced that they have kicked-off production of autonomous Columbia Stockchasers powered by Cyngn's Enterprise Autonomy Suite. This growing autonomous vehicle fleet will enable Cyngn to make its self-driving solutions on Columbia vehicles available to more customers. The new fleet will be equipped with the latest technologies that coincide with integrating autonomous driving capabilities into industrial vehicles, such as lithium-ion batteries with upgraded chargers and electrified vehicle controls.

Furthermore, Cyngn and Columbia are jointly developing intellectual property and making end-of-line adjustments to streamline the AV build process. In the fall of 2021, Columbia and Cyngn embarked on a partnership that would, among other things, enable select customers to become early adopters of autonomous industrial vehicles. Existing Columbia Stockchasers would be the first vehicles fit with Cyngn's AV software, with plans to bring AV capabilities to additional vehicles in Columbia's portfolio through both retrofit and manufacture.
