WHO WE ARE

In May 2022, the Volkswagen Group announced their plan to grow in America by investing in the revival of the iconic Scout brand and the development of all-electric pick-up trucks and rugged SUVs.  To this end, a separate, independent company, Scout Motors, was established in the U.S. to design, engineer, and manufacture all-electric pick-up trucks and rugged SUVs in America, for American customers

By combining an entrepreneurial spirit with the backing of the Volkswagen Group, Scout Motors will unveil its first prototypes in 2023 and begin production in 2026.  The electrified Scout brand will build upon a new technical platform concept which delivers rugged credibility beyond the existing Volkswagen Group portfolio.  Scout Motors’ products will combine credible capability, American authenticity, and new American innovation to win in the core of the U.S. market and to win the approval of its brand enthusiasts. 

Despite a new Scout not being sold in over 40 years, the Scout community is still as passionate as ever.  Scout Motors will build upon this existing enthusiast community and the Scout brand’s legacy to reach new fans. 

WHAT TO EXPECT

Scout is all about RESPECT.  Respect for the environment by developing all-electric vehicles with the capability to get you to any location.  Respect for the past and the future by taking an iconic American brand that hasn’t been around for a while, electrifying it, digitizing it, and loading it with American innovation.  Respect for communities by creating a company that stands for its people and its customers.  And respect for both work and play, with vehicles that are equally at home at a camp site, a job site, or on a Tuesday commute.

The team at Scout Motors are taking AMERICA’S NEXT SHOT at:

• MEETING THE MARKET with a brand and products built to win in the largest automotive segments and profit pools in America.
• MEETING THE MOMENT by investing in R&D, platforms, and manufacturing during the generational reset moment that electrification represents for the automotive industry

  • Support program management of strategic inter-department activities
  • Ensure alignment of company objectives to Scout Motors vision & mission and top-line key results
  • Provide ongoing KPI, OKR, and strategic project reporting
  • Support other Scout Motors departments in strategy operationalization and reporting
