Founded in September 2022, Scout Motors was built to be the next great American automotive brand. While an independent company, Scout Motors is backed by Volkswagen AG, a publicly traded German company, making it a member of the Volkswagen Group.

This partnership provides Scout Motors with deep expertise in vehicle and production engineering, enabling a rapid ramp-up of high-quality manufacturing. At the same time, Scout maintains the creative freedom and agility of an entrepreneurial American company.

Scout Motors is solely responsible for the engineering, design, and manufacturing of its vehicles. Its proprietary vehicle architecture and groundbreaking electric platform are purpose-built for Scout and have never been used or sold by any other automotive brand.
