The reveal event for the electric Terra truck and Traveler SUV aimed to establish a solid connection between the concept EVs and the attendees.

American, all-electric SUV and pickup arrive in 2026 with bidirectional charging, rugged capabilities and Harvester configurations that can run partially on gas.

Scout's new battery-electric and range-extended SUV and truck made their first appearance during a private event outside Nashville, Tennessee.

Scout, as a brand, died with International Harvester back in 1980. But Volkswagen – who owns the new, reanimated Scout we see today – strives to stay true to the original. The new Scout trucks are body-on-frame, solid rear axle trucks. They get some serious towing capacity, too – up to 7,000 pounds for the Traveler and 10,000 for the Terra.

Scout Motors, the classic off-road brand from the sixties, has been reborn as an electric vehicle company and is building a new SUV and pickup truck. The pioneering Jeep rival was brought back to life by Volkswagen in 2022 after the German automaker acquired Scout in 2020 (when it merged its commercial trucking company Traton with Navistar ).

Volkswagen has just unveiled a pair of electric concepts inspired by the long-defunct International Harvester Scout off-roader. And if everything goes to plan the battery-powered Traveler SUV and Terra truck will go into production later this decade.
