Oct 24 (Reuters) - Volkswagen's Scout Motors

unit on Thursday unveiled its concept electric SUV and truck and

said it will offer extended-range versions that include a small

gasoline engine.

VW is building a $2 billion factory in South Carolina and

expects to begin production of the new vehicles in 2027. The

full EV versions will offer up to 350 miles of range on a charge

while the extended-range version will have 500 miles. "It makes

the platform future proof," Scout CEO Scott Keogh said.
