From all of us at Scout Motors, welcome to the Scout Community! We created this community to provide Scout vehicle owners, enthusiasts, and curiosity seekers with a place to engage in discussion, suggestions, stories, and connections. Supportive communities are sometimes hard to find, but we're determined to turn this into one.
Additionally, Scout Motors wants to hear your feedback and speak directly to the rabid community of owners as unique as America. We'll use the Scout Community to deliver news and information on events and launch updates directly to the group. Although the start of production is anticipated in 2026, many new developments and milestones will occur in the interim. We plan to share them with you on this site and look for your feedback and suggestions.
How will the Scout Community be run? Think of it this way: this place is your favorite local hangout. We want you to enjoy the atmosphere, talk to people who share similar interests, request and receive advice, and generally have an enjoyable time. The Scout Community should be a highlight of your day. We want you to tell stories, share photos, spread your knowledge, and tell us how Scout can deliver great products and experiences. Along the way, Scout Motors will share our journey to production with you.
Scout is all about respect. We respect our heritage. We respect the land and outdoors. We respect each other. Every person should feel safe, included, and welcomed in the Scout Community. Being kind and courteous to the other forum members is non-negotiable. Friendly debates are welcomed and often produce great outcomes, but we don't want things to get too rowdy. Please take a moment to consider what you post, especially if you think it may insult others. We'll do our best to encourage friendly discourse and to keep the discussions flowing.
So, welcome to the Scout Community! We encourage you to check back regularly as we plan to engage our members, share teasers, and participate in discussions. The world needs Scouts™. Let's get going.
We are Scout Motors.
Are those made in Germany? Or due they have a US vender?Not to mention shipping and transport
No idea but I always improperly assume stuff that big is German or European as the U.S. just doesn’t see as much of the good technology. I’m sure someone can build it stateside but being designed by Germans I suspect they planned on German made ???
Everllence is a German company with five or six locations around the world, including some vender relationship in the US.
My company only installs residential heat pumps but I know those industrial ones ain’t cheap!
My guy does HVAC, no wonder he can afford Vintage Scouts.

The blog article includes info about the new supplier park. It looks totally different from what I expected. I thought it would be more like a strip mall layout (long width and shallow depth), but the images show something a lot more rectangular. I am going to have to re-adjust my expectations for the supplier park, aren't I? I'm really curious about it now.
Thanks fro the update Jamie!
There are several buildings going up as part of that project, but some suppliers will be under one roof. The southernmost building that is only a pad and footings (isn't visible in the aerial photo) is our accessories installation building.
Now I’m just waiting for uncle Scotty to email me my happy holiday video tomorrow hopefully. Since last year it was sent on the 19th.
What will occur in the accessories building @Jamie@ScoutMotors beyond the obvious? Hint, hint-nudge, nudge!
Thanks Cousin THil08 for reminding me of that video. I had to go back and watch it in anticipation of this years.

Also the delivery of our first industrial heat pump marking the first industrial-scale use of heat pumps in a U.S. automotive plant.
This innovative system will provide efficient heating and cooling for more than 3 million square feet of buildings, replacing traditional gas systems and helping us save the equivalent of 1.2 million trees per year in carbon emissions.

I used to work in commercial refrigeration and have never seen a heat pump that big.
That is quite the beast.
I was involved in selling several chiller plants for commercial customers like convention centers and malls. That thing dwarfs all of them.

Yes, Everllence is a subsidiary of the Volkswagen Group. It was formerly known as MAN Energy Solutions before rebranding in June 2025.
It’s just mind numbing how big. Look at all those extra axle rollers. How many wide load signs Ang safety/flagger trucks did that require?
