It is now official. Volkswagen is bringing back the Scout (International Harvester Scout), a popular off-road vehicle in the 1960s and 1970s, as an EV sub-brand.
Scout will begin producing off-road electric SUVs and pick-up trucks in 2026. “The vehicles will be designed, engineered, and manufactured in the United States for American customers,” Volkswagen stated.
Scout was created by International Harvester, a company known for its trucks and farm equipment. Scout debuted in 1961, competing with Jeep CJ and Ford Bronco.
