NASHVILLE, Ind. (WANE) The International Scout was an SUV long before the name Sport Utility Vehicle was even coined. The Scout vehicles were produced by International Harvester in Fort Wayne from 1960 to 1980 and on Thursday, two new all-electric Scout models were unveiled in Nashville, Tennessee where Scout Motors is headquartered. Scout Motors, which is owned by Volkswagen, announced it will build two models. The Traveler will be an SUV, while the Terra will be similar to a pickup truck. Both will be built at a plant in South Carolina. In a press release issued during the unveiling, Scout Motors stated its first priority was to honor the spirit of the original Scout vehicles with the Traveler and Terra taking inspiration from the design and utility of the original Scout vehicles.
