Report: Volkswagen's Scout will establish an independent brand in the United States.

Volkswagen plans to launch an all-American style attack through its wholly-owned subsidiary Scout Motors with independent identity, which represents a new strategy for the largest European car manufacturer. Their last effort to expand on a large scale in the United States led to the "dieselgate" scandal. Although Scout is operated by a former head of Volkswagen North America and sources materials, parts, and software from the group, it has kept its distance from its German parent company. However, its path to development is not smooth, with various problems such as production delays and legal challenges. Scout's CEO, Scott Keogh, who has worked at Volkswagen for many years, stated in an interview that Scout will establish an independent brand in the United States and may "potentially" seek an IPO in the future.
