Scout Motors Inc., a company focused on creating all-electric trucks and SUVs, has opened its Production Center in Blythewood, South Carolina. The facility spans approximately 1,600 acres and is located near major cities and talent hubs such as Charleston, Charlotte, Greenville, and Atlanta. The site spans less than 20 miles north of Columbia and offers access to major highways, ports of Charleston and Savannah, and colleges and universities focused on automotive engineering.
Vehicle production is expected to begin by the end of 2026, with the first retail sales of trucks and SUVs occurring soon thereafter. During the ceremony, Jim Poiry, a former plant manager at the original Scout factory in Fort Wayne, Indiana, presented a brick from that factory to the Scout Motors team, which will help build the foundation for the new Production Center.
Scout Motors' trucks and SUVs will be built on a newly designed all-electric platform, engineered to deliver credible capability and off-road prowess. The company has hired nearly 350 employees since its inception in 2022, and potential candidates can indicate their interest in future manufacturing positions by submitting their information at scoutmotors.sctechjobs.com. The groundbreaking ceremony honored Scout's heritage while celebrating the company's future plans and growth.
