Scout Motors

Scout Motors Inc. is an American subsidiary of Volkswagen Group, established in 2022 to design and manufacture off-road electric vehicles (EVs). The company revives the historic Scout brand, originally created by International Harvester in 1960, known for its rugged SUVs and trucks. Scout Motors aims to compete in the electric off-road vehicle market, focusing on innovation, sustainability, and direct-to-consumer sales. The company is headquartered in Charlotte, North Carolina, with additional facilities in South Carolina, Michigan, Virginia, and California. Scout Motors is developing two key products: the Scout Terra, an electric pickup truck expected in 2027, and the Scout Traveler, an all-electric SUV set for release in 2028. These vehicles are designed to honor the brand's legacy of durability and versatility while incorporating advanced EV technology.
