Scout Motors Inc. is an automotive company. Although Scout is a wholly-owned subsidiary of the United's States’s Navistar International, now owned by Germany's Volkswagen Group, it is an entirely US-based operation and acts as an independent company within the Volkswagen family. [2] The brand was established in May 2022 to produce off-road capable electric vehicles.[3] It operates independently and managed separately[4] with its own executive team. The headquarters is located in Tysons, Virginia.[1][5]

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.[6][7]

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.[8][9] Scott Keogh, CEO of Volkswagen USA, became the first CEO of Scout Motors.[10]

Locations

Factory

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.[11] The factory will employ up to 4,000 people[12] and it will manufacture the Scout Motor's first two vehicles: a small off-road focused SUV and a pickup truck that are scheduled to be launched in late 2026.[13]

R&D

Scout Motors' announced in December 2023 that it would open its first R&D facility sometime in 2024. Scout selected Novi, Michigan as the site of the new facility. Scout Motors indicated that it expects to employ roughly 200 people once the R&D facility becomes operational.[14][15]
