VW has coveted the U.S. pickup market for decades but balked at the massive cost of developing vehicles tailored to it. The new pair are exactly that tailored, to the market, and showpieces for VW’s latest EV technology to boot.

Volkswagen AG’s forthcoming Scout line of battery-powered sport utility vehicles and pickup trucks is adding gasoline-fueled internal combustion engines to the mix.

While battery size was not released, Scout has said to expect 350 miles range with the pure battery setup and “more than 500 miles” of range with the optional extended range electric vehicle (EREV) energy system, cleverly called the Harvester™ after International’s line of tractors.
