jetcityimage General Motors ( GM ) may be moving away from lithium iron phosphate (LFP) batteries for its future electric vehicles, signaling a major shift in its EV chemistry strategy toward lithium manganese-rich (LMR) technology, Reuters reported, citing the company's battery chief, Kurt Kelty. The automaker ( GM ) previously planned to use LFP batteries in upcoming EVs and start production at a Tennessee facility by late 2027. However, Kurt Kelty, GM’s head of battery technology, said , “There is a possibility where LFP does not earn its way into our portfolio,” calling LMR the “workhorse” for GM ( GM ). “That’s where we’re going to be using the big volume,” he added. However, the company still plans to produce LFP cells at its Tennessee plant, but those batteries will be used for energy storage systems rather than EVs. GM ( GM ) said last year it aimed to begin commercial production of LMR cells at a U.S. facility in 2028. Kelty did not confirm whether that timeline remains in place but said LMR “is on schedule with development.” The shift highlights a divergence from rivals like Tesla ( TSLA ), Ford ( F ), and Rivian ( RIVN ), which have increasingly adopted LFP batteries to reduce EV costs. To note, GM's recently launched Chevrolet Bolt, its least expensive EV for the U.S. market, uses LFP cells from Chinese battery giant CATL ( CATL ).

Thailand’s Minor International Pcl is considering listing its restaurant business in Singapore instead of Hong Kong as it sees greater interest from potential investors in the city-state, according to people with knowledge of the matter. Financial advisers are helping with a plan for Minor Food Group Pcl , which operates brands including Burger King , Dairy Queen and The Pizza Company, the people said, asking not to be identified because the deliberations are private. Hong Kong had been considered as a venue, people familiar with the information said earlier this year, adding that an IPO could raise more than $400 million. The city has built on a buoyant 2025 for listings, with an even stronger year on the cards now — more than $22 billion has been raised in Hong Kong IPOs in 2026, data compiled by Bloomberg show. Singapore’s total is only $912 million.

Deliberations are ongoing and no final decision has been made on Minor Food’s potential listing, the people said. Minor International didn’t respond to a request for comment. Founded in 1980, Minor Food says it has about 2,700 outlets in 24 countries.
