A foundation built to last. The final steel beam for our Scout Motors Production Center is locked into place, bringing us one step closer to the future we’re building in Blythewood, SC. This is where American craftsmanship, innovation, and legacy will come together. The work continues, but today, we celebrate another milestone in the journey to revitalize an American icon.  #ANewScoutEra #MadeInSC #ScoutMotors #TheWorldNeedsScouts  

More than just a road, this is the path forward.   Together, we’re laying the foundation for something bigger than any one project—because #ANewScoutEra starts with a strong community. The Scout Motors Drive Interchange on I-77 isn’t just about infrastructure – it's a testament to the partnerships we’re forging across South Carolina. From local and state leaders to workforce and education partners, we’re working hard to create new opportunities, drive innovation, and build a lasting impact.  By directing all employee and supplier traffic through this new interchange, we’ll ensure growth doesn’t come at the expense of those who already call this area home. We’re committed for the long haul, and as we expand and grow, we’ll stay true to our roots - building vehicles with purpose and strengthening the community that makes it all possible. Thank you to Governor McMaster, the South Carolina Department of Transportation, the South Carolina General Assembly, and Richland County for their continued support in driving this project and partnership forward.   #TheWorldNeedsScouts #ScoutMotors #MadeInSC

We’re proud to be the first to utilize the new regional training center — made possible through the collaboration of readySC, Midlands Technical College, Richland County, and the SC Department of Commerce — as we prepare for pre-employment training for our Scout Motors Production Center employees.   South Carolina’s exceptional workforce and training resources were key in our decision to call the Midlands our home, and this center strengthens that foundation, creating opportunities for Scout Motors, our suppliers, and the region to grow together.  With the support of our partners, we’re taking the next step toward building a strong workforce and an even stronger future in South Carolina.   #MadeInSC #SouthCarolina #ScoutMotors   

It is with deep sadness that I say goodbye to an admired leader, valued partner, and dear friend who has left a lasting impact - our beloved Chief Production Officer, Dr. Jan Spies - who passed away after a courageous battle with cancer. Even before he officially joined as Chief Production Officer, Jan was an early member of our Scout Motors team, injecting his heart and soul into our company with a clear and ambitious vision for our future. Jan laid the foundation for our Production Center in Blythewood, creating thoughtful and meticulous plans that will guide us for years to come. He was a get-stuff-done kind of leader who embraced ambitious timelines and had an extreme drive. Jan’s impact, however, went far beyond his credentials and work achievements. He embodied the Scout Way from day one. Jan cared deeply for the Scout Motors community, Richland County (of which he was a proud resident), and most importantly, his family.   So many of us have wonderful stories and memories of Jan. A few that stand out for me are the joy he felt representing our company in the community and driving an original Scout vehicle home from the Blythewood Rodeo, the excitement he felt bringing the team and our little red fire truck together during the Fireflies holiday lights celebration. And I’ll always remember the satisfaction and pride on his face as we locked in the historical brick at our Production Center groundbreaking ceremony.   There are countless stories, but to really understand the impact Jan had, you don’t have to look much further than this touching note from Georgia Mjartan, a local resident, after her and her son's interaction with Jan at our Connection Center: “Our eight-year-old son, Jozef, dreams of building cars. He’s read every book in our local library about cars. He draws pictures of cars. He loves making cars with Legos - new designs from his mind. So you can imagine his awe when Dr. Jan Spies, the energized and brilliant engineer building and overseeing Scout Motors, spent the better part of an hour with Jozef. Dr. Spies showed him the models of the campus he designed in Blythewood, SC where 4,000 people will work, building Scout electric vehicles. As we left, Jozef turned to me with the biggest smile on his face and said, ‘Mom! I 100% know what I want to do now!’ Planning the steps of his career, he asked ‘Is 14 old enough to do an internship at Scout?’”   Jan’s contributions have laid the foundation for everything we’ve accomplished so far and everything we’ll continue to build in the future. His legacy is part of our DNA, and we’ll carry it forward together.

That’s a wrap on CES Las Vegas. Thank you to everyone who came to the booth to check out the Scout® Traveler™ SUV and Terra™ truck concepts at CES last week. We got to show off the vehicles inside and out, and debut the integrated roof rack with satellite connectivity, a feature that will be offered on both the Traveler and Terra. Looking forward to more events in 2025, and hard testing these trucks in real-world scenarios. #ScoutMotors #CES2025

Construction at the Scout Motors Production Center in Blythewood, South Carolina, is in full swing. Crews have moved over 16 million cubic yards of dirt, laid floors in the Paint Shop, and installed the final steel beams for the Assembly Building. Work has also started on connecting the site to key rail lines. This state-of-the-art facility spans 1,100 acres and represents a $2 billion investment that will create over 4,000 permanent jobs. Once complete, it will produce 200,000 Scout® vehicles annually—40 every hour. Check out the full factory update, learn more at ScoutMotors.com. https://lnkd.in/e-vnHxra #ScoutMotors #ANewScoutEra
