Volkswagen will begin production of new line of electric SUVs and pickups under the Scout name in 2026 in the United States.
The original Scout was built from 1961 to 1980., which is the successor to International Harvester, the company that produced the original Scouts from 1961 to 1980.
The Scouts will be built by a new company under the VW Group umbrella on an electric platform designed to accommodate"rugged" vehicles, but not until 2026.Prototypes will be revealed next year, however, and VW has released two concept sketches of what the first vehicles could look like.Both feature the signature tall slab slides, side window profile and rain gutters of the originals, but with four doors instead of two. It's not clear if they will have removable roofs.
