Scout Motors designs, engineers, and manufactures all-electric trucks and SUVs. Rooted in heritage of American automotive. Scout Motors is a subsidiary of Volkswagen Group, focused on producing rugged electric vehicles (EVs) inspired by the classic Scout off-road vehicles originally produced by International Harvester. Volkswagen acquired the Scout brand in 2021 as part of its purchase of Navistar, the successor to International Harvester.

The Scout, originally produced by International Harvester from 1961-80, was the world’s first utility vehicle capable of both off-road adventure and family duty. It was the 8-day-a-week truck. Scout is now an American icon whose heritage is kept alive by a dedicated community of doers who continue to push their vehicles on the farm, in the wilderness, and on family outings.

Scout Motors was formed to craft the next era of trucks and rugged SUVs rooted in the same tradition that made the original Scout an American icon. Scout Motors is revitalizing a legend and returning manufacturing to American shores. Initial production is targeted to begin at the Scout Motors Production Center near Columbia, South Carolina, in 2027
