Czinger Vehicles Recognized by Fast Company for Redefining Automotive Manufacturing
[Los Angeles, CA] (March 24, 2026) — Czinger Vehicles is proud to be named to Fast Company’s prestigious list of the World’s Most Innovative Companies of 2026. This year’s list shines a spotlight on businesses that are shaping industry and culture through their innovations. Alongside the World’s 50 Most Innovative Companies, Fast Company recognizes 720 honorees across 59 sectors and regions.
In an industry that has seen little in the way of manufacturing innovation for more than 100 years, Czinger has completely rethought how the automobile is engineered, designed, and built. At the core of Czinger’s approach is the Divergent Adaptive Production System (DAPS)™ developed by sister company Divergent Technologies. Unlike traditional automotive manufacturing, which relies on extensive tooling and long development cycles, DAPS™ enables the production of complex, high-performance structures without major fixed tooling – unlocking faster iteration, reduced material usage, and greater design freedom.
While Divergent prints components for a variety of high-performance automakers, Czinger is the first and only to unleash true engineering creativity by fully integrating this process into a production car. That car – the Czinger 21C – is the first to feature a fully generatively designed, 3D-printed Bio-Logic™ chassis, plus further 3D-printed parts within the suspension, safety structures, interior, and more. This system allows for substantial benefits when it comes to minimizing weight of components, maximizing strength, and ultimately allowing for a more flexible and dynamic manufacturing method unlike anything else in the automotive industry.
The 21C serves as proof of what this technology can bring to the automotive world, both in the high-performance landscape and beyond. More than just a performance machine, the 21C is equally at home on the street as it is on the track; last summer, the hypercar drove 1,000 miles on public roads between five California racetracks over the course of five days, achieving lap records at each, proving its durability and lending further credence to its advanced engineering.
The World’s Most Innovative Companies is Fast Company’s hallmark franchise and one of its most anticipated editorial efforts of the year. To determine honorees, Fast Company’s editors and writers review companies driving progress around the world and across industries, evaluating thousands of submissions through a competitive application process. The result is a globe-spanning guide to innovation today, from early-stage startups to some of the most valuable companies in the world.
“Our list of the Most Innovative Companies is about spotlighting organizations that don’t just adapt to change – they drive it,” said Brendan Vaughan, editor-in-chief of Fast Company. “The companies we honor this year are redefining what leadership looks like in 2026, pairing bold ideas with measurable impact and turning breakthrough innovation into real-world value. They are setting the pace for their industries and offering a blueprint for what sustained innovation can achieve.”
