Volkswagen has chosen to revive the Scout brand (of International Harvester Scout fame) for a new line of off-road-focused electric vehicles over 40 years after the last Scout II rolled off the production line. The new company’s first offerings will be an electric SUV and pickup duo that promise to blend retro-inspired design, go-anywhere capability and the best of VW’s EV tech into a package specifically designed for the American market and built locally.
