VW’s advisory board is expected to approve a proposal tomorrow to spin off a new EV company centered around off-road vehicles, as first reported by WSJ.
The company will resurrect the classic nameplate from the International Harvester Scout, a Jeep-like off-road vehicle from the 60s and 70s, and fill a similar niche as the Rivian R1T as an electric competitor to off-road enthusiast trucks like the Ford Raptor, Jeep Gladiator and the like, but at a lower price point than the Rivian.
