Volkswagen is 'seriously considering' reviving the name for an off-road oriented electric SUV.
Such a plan makes even more sense when you consider the timeline. Volkswagen only recently came to control the Scout name when its commercial truck subsidiary, Traton, merged with Navistar in July 2021.
What brand name the Scout will fall under remains a mystery. De Nysschen didn't say, but we know it would be difficult to use the International Harvester name. Case IH bought the International Harvester name in 1985 as the company was dismantled and the remnants turned into Navistar and still owns that brand name today.
Could this all just be one executive's flight of fancy? We believe it's a serious inquiry. Two other sources in Volkswagen Group of America have separately confirmed to MotorTrend that the company is interested in resurrecting the Scout name now that the merger is complete. Given the interest in off-roading, overlanding, and classic off-road vehicles right now , it makes business sense.
