KANSAS CITY, Mo. — General Motors announced on Tuesday that it plans to invest about $4 billion over the next two years into manufacturing throughout the United States, including the Fairfax plant in Kansas City, Kansas. According to , the new investment will give the company the opportunity to create more than 2 million new vehicles per year across the U.S. KC2026 to provide update on FIFA World Cup tournament plans Three plants across Michigan, Kansas and Tennessee will expand vehicle production of some of the company's most popular models: Orion Assembly, Orion Township, Michigan Gas-powered full-size SUVs and light-duty pickup trucks Chevrolet Silverado EV, GMC Sierra EV, Cadillac ESCALADE IQ, and GMC HUMMER EV pickup and SUV Fairfax Assembly, Kansas City, Kansas Gas-powered Chevrolet Equinox and 2027 Chevrolet Bolt EVs. 'GM expects to make new future investments in Fairfax for GM's next generation of affordable EVs,' the company said. Spring Hill Manufacturing, Spring Hill, Tennessee Gas-powered Chevrolet Blazer, Cadillac LYRIQ and VISTIQ EVs, and the Cadillac XT5 The latest manufacturing plan comes after the company announced an $888 million investment proposal in the Tonawanda Propulsion plant near Buffalo, New York. The investment aims to help GM develop and evolve the V-8 engine. 'We believe the future of transportation will be driven by American innovation and manufacturing expertise,' said GM Chair and CEO Mary Barra. 'Today's announcement demonstrates our ongoing commitment to build vehicles in the U.S and to support American jobs. We're focused on giving customers choice and offering a broad range of vehicles they love.' According to the company, about one million people — customers, employees and suppliers — across the nation depend on GM's 50 U.S. manufacturing plants and parts facilities across 19 states, as well as its 11 assembly plants, to sustain their livelihoods. At this time, the company said it is on track to deliver its sixth consecutive year as the full-size pickup sales leader, and its 51st straight year leading in full-size SUVs. Additionally, in the second half of 2024, GM became the second-highest seller of electric vehicles in the U.S. with the help of its 13 new EV models from Chevrolet, Cadillac, and GMC. Because of this success, Chevrolet has become the fastest-growing EV brand and is ranked second among all EV brands in sales.

'As you travel the country, you can see firsthand the scale of our manufacturing footprint and the positive economic impact on our communities and our country.' The company said going forward, it expects its annual capital spending to be between $10 billion and $12 billion through 2027, reflecting GM's effort to invest back into U.S. manufacturing, as well as key programs.

Next-Generation Chevy Bolt Will Enter Production Later This Year
General Motors announced a new investment in three U.S. factories, revealing that production of the next-generation 2027 Chevy Bolt will begin later this year. GM will begin assembling the gas-powered Chevy Blazer at its plant in Spring Hill, Tennessee, in 2027, suggesting the aging mid-size SUV will receive a new generation. The automaker also hinted at another next-generation affordable EV to be built alongside the Bolt in Kansas City, Kansas. Back in 2023, as General Motors wound down production of the first-generation Chevrolet Bolt EV and EUV, the automaker said a second generation of its affordable electric car was coming in 2025. There has been surprisingly little news since, but now we finally have an idea of when to expect the new Bolt. In an announcement about new investments in three U.S. factories, GM said the next-generation Bolt will arrive for the 2027 model year. GM said it will invest roughly $4 billion into three factories over the next two years, expanding the production of both gas-powered and electric vehicles in the United States. One of the facilities receiving an upgrade will be the Fairfax Assembly plant in Kansas City, Kansas, which GM says will begin producing the 2027 Chevy Bolt EV by the end of this year. This content is imported from Third party. You may be able to find the same content in another format, or you may be able to find more information, at their web site. General Motors No other details were provided about this next iteration of the Bolt, but we expect it to continue as a tall subcompact hatchback, although it could be positioned as a subcompact SUV like the previous generation's EUV model. The timing seems a bit strange, since a 2027-model-year car wouldn't typically go on sale until roughly halfway through 2026. Regardless, this means we should get a full reveal of this next-generation Bolt in the next several months. The Bolt isn't the only new model being added to Fairfax's to-do list. The gas-powered Equinox SUV is currently built at GM's San Luis Potosí factory in Mexico, but the automaker will supplement existing production by assembling the Equinox at Fairfax starting in mid-2027. GM also said it plans to make further investments in the Fairfax facility to produce a next-generation "affordable EV." It's unclear exactly how this EV will be positioned relative to the Bolt, which we expect to remain priced around the $30,000 mark. Michael Simari | Car and Driver There was another surprise tied in with GM's investments. The company's factory in Spring Hill, Tennessee, currently builds the Cadillac Lyriq and Vistiq EVs along with the gas-powered XT5 SUV, but GM now says it will add production of the gas-powered Chevrolet Blazer SUV to the facility in 2027. This is a bit unexpected, as a report earlier this year claimed the mid-size Blazer would be discontinued following the 2025 model year and wasn't expected to receive a follow-up act. Given that the current Blazer—built in Ramos Arizpe, Mexico—has been around since 2019 with minimal changes, we expect these production plans to apply to a next-generation model. The final plant receiving new investment is the Orion Assembly plant in Michigan. The Orion factory was originally supposed to start producing the Chevy Silverado EV and GMC Sierra EV in late 2024, but that plan was delayed to late 2025. Now, however, GM will use the plant for the production of gas-powered full-size SUVs and light-duty pickup trucks starting in early 2027. It seems that Orion Assembly won't be churning out those EVs after all. GM said that Factory Zero at its Detroit-Hamtramck facility in Michigan will be the dedicated site for production of the Silverado EV and Sierra EV, as well as its Cadillac Escalade IQ and GMC Hummer EV cousins. This change implies a shift in priorities, as sales of those electric behemoths haven't quite taken off as planned, and demand for its gas-powered full-size SUVs and trucks remains strong. The move also shows a desire from GM to bring production of some of its bestselling and most profitable models, some of which are currently built in Mexico and Canada, into the United States.

'Heel Denny' Hamlin Showered With Praise After Intense Boos At Michigan
Based on facts, either observed and verified firsthand by the reporter, or reported and verified from knowledgeable sources. Newsweek AI is in beta. Translations may contain inaccuracies—please refer to the original content. NASCAR driver Denny Hamlin achieved his third Cup Series win of the season and 57th of his career on Sunday at Michigan International Speedway. Hamlin is a true veteran of racing, still competing at the age of 44 years and delivering wins. Despite his legendary status in NASCAR, Hamlin has become somewhat of a villain in the sport, often getting booed during his driver introduction and the podium ceremony as well. Denny Hamlin, driver of the #11 Yahoo! Toyota, celebrates after winning the NASCAR Cup Series FireKeepers Casino 400 at Michigan International Speedway on June 08, 2025 in Brooklyn, Michigan.

Photo byJeff Gluck, co-host of the Teardown and writer for The Athletic, broke down Hamlin's rise as the "bad guy" of NASCAR. "He gets by far the most boos in driver intros and then we were on pit road afterwards and you know he just gets showered with boos," Gluck said on the Teardown podcast. "He climbs out of his car and as soon as he gets showered with boos, he immediately goes into wrestling heel mode." "I love heel Denny. NASCAR needs that. NASCAR needs guys who embrace it and relish it and he does," co-host Jordan Bianchi added. The race in Michigan featured a ton of drama, from the drivers in the lead struggling with fuel management to others in the middle of the pack making up serious ground. Hamlin came from the middle, making a charge to the front, which resulted in an overtake at lap 197 of 200. The driver in the lead was William Byron until Hamlin passed him. Byron finished in 28th place after running out of gas - literally - at the end of the race. NASCAR Cup Series FireKeepers Casino 400 Results: 1. Denny Hamlin, No. 11 Toyota 2.
