Scout Motors
Scout Motors Inc is an American automotive company operating as an independent subsidiary of Volkswagen Group. The brand was established in May 2022 to produce off-road capable electric vehicles. It would operate independently and managed separately with its own executive team. The headquarters would be located in Tysons, Virginia. The company is building a factory in South Carolina, where it will produce its first two vehicles, a small SUV and pickup truck that are scheduled to be launched in late 2026. History
The Scout marque is named after the off-road vehicle International Harvester Scout, produced from 1961 to 1980, which Volkswagen has owned since 2020 through its American truck subsidiary Navistar International. On May 11, 2022, Volkswagen AG announced the creation of a new brand, Scout, dedicated to electric vehicles, designed, developed, manufactured and marketed in the United States. On March 3, 2023, Scout Motors announced plans to build a $2 billion factory capable of producing 200,000 EVs a year in Blythewood, South Carolina. The factory will manufacture the company's first two vehicles: a small off-road focused SUV and a pickup truck that are scheduled to be launched in late 2026. References
