Well, it was predictable if not inevitable. Volkswagen is bringing back the legendary Scout as a stand-alone electric vehicle brand, focusing on off-road pickups and SUVs for the American market.

You might recall that back in 2020, Volkswagen, through Traton, their European truck subsidiary, acquired Navistar, parent corporation of International, formerly International Harvester. Navistar, and now VW, owns the Scout trademark for "land vehicles over 2,400 pounds gross vehicle weight, licensed for use on public streets, highways as well as off-road use, namely, light duty trucks excluding fire trucks, such as pickup trucks and sport utility vehicles, medium duty trucks, and severe service or vocational trucks."
