DriveItAway Holdings, Inc. Partners with Fleet-Connection to Offer its Flexible Lease Alternative to Commercial Fleet Customers with its New 'DriveItAway Business Preferred' Program
- To Promote DriveItAway Business Preferred, DriveItAway has Partnered with Fleet-Connection and its Founder Sherb Brown, Former President of Bobit Business Media and Group Publisher of Major Fleet Publications – Listen to DriveItAway's CEO John F. Possumato and Fleet-Connection's Sherb Brown discuss this new endeavor as part of Elena Ciccotelli's 'The EVs for Everyone Podcast' ( Episode 157)
- DriveItAway's Business Preferred Program Will Cater to the Approximately 12-15 Million Small Locally-Owned Businesses that Have an Immediate Need for an SUV, Truck, or Van, But Do Not Want to Make a Long Term Financial Commitment for a Vehicle or a Fleet of Vehicles, or Lack the Cash or Credit for a Traditional Vehicle Finance or Lease
PHILADELPHIA, PA, USA, April 2 2025 – DriveItAway Holdings, Inc. ( OTC Marketplace: DWAY) ('DriveItAway' and 'Company'), an automotive industry leader in new digital mobility platforms with its unique 'flexible-lease/subscription to purchase' technology, continues to gain traction and visibility in its mission to enable all to drive, and then buy, affordable quality personal transportation, announces today the expansion of its service to small commercial fleet businesses, who find it difficult to buy or lease vehicles through traditional channels, with its newly created 'DriveItAway Business Preferred' Program.
To jump-start this endeavor, DriveItAway is partnering with Sherb Brown, a long-time fleet industry veteran, and his company, Fleet-Connection, which maintains one of the most comprehensive database and marketing engine for the millions of small fleet owners, who are 'under the radar' in comparison to large, traditional fleet operators. Brown is the former President of Bobit Business Media and was the Group Publisher of major fleet publications, including Heavy Duty Trucking and Work Truck, along with general commercial-focused Websites and live events.
'A long time ago, I started in the automotive business on the fleet and small commercial side, first as a franchise dealer, and I then helped design and present the dealer-based small commercial fleet education and training programs for Ford, General Motors and Jaguar,' says John F. Possumato, Founder & CEO of DriveItAway, 'then, as now, one of the stumbling blocks for a new or small local business in acquiring needed vehicles is the credit requirements from both manufacturer captive finance companies and banks, who usually require three years in business and a strong balance sheet, something that a lot of small businesses do not have, especially new ones. In addition, many small businesses have seasonal or contract work, which may require a work truck or van for just six months or a year, where a conventional purchase or lease just won't work. Our DriveItAway 'Business Preferred' open-ended, no obligation flexible lease now offers the new perfect alternative.'
'Right now smaller fleets have access to the right inventory of vehicles, trucks, or vans to fill all needs,' says Sherb Brown, CEO of Fleet-Connection, 'but many times the optimal means to acquire these vehicles does not exist. In many cases these small businesses are shut out of traditional commercial financing or leasing due to credit or years in business requirements, or have seasonal or contract work, where owning or long-term leasing vehicles wouldn't be the right decision.' continues Brown, 'this is the niche that DriveItAway's Business Preferred flexible lease alternative fits, and we are excited to work with John and his team to add some visibility to the program.'
This latest expansion to open up a new market of small commercial (non-gig) fleet follows directly with DriveItAway's 2025 goals as stated in the Company's ' Year End Message to Shareholders.'
'In January, I said that in addition to expanding our business to include small commercial fleet sales, our two other Company goals for 2025 are to increase our own vehicle credit line, and to continue to make 'strong and deep industry alliances.' In February, we were fortunate enough to announce that we increased our line and that Menachem Light, a true industry icon, has agreed to Chair our newly created Board of Advisors,' continues Possumato, 'now in pursuing our goal to expand our services to small commercial fleet customers, it is particularly rewarding to be working with Sherb Brown, as he and I have known each other now for over three decades. Automotive fleet has always fundamentally been a people business, and with Sherb, we are working with the best in fleet.'
All are encouraged to visit with John F. Possumato at the automotive industry events where he is a featured speaker in April - the Auto Intel Summit in Cary, NC, on April 8th; the National Vehicle Leasing Association Annual Conference in Clearwater, FL, on April 10th; and the International Car Rental Show in Las Vegas, NV, on April 14th.

UK car market up 6.7% in June, with BEVs up 39%
The UK's new car market grew for the second consecutive month in June, as registrations rose 6.7% to 191,316 units, according to the latest figures from the Society of Motor Manufacturers and Traders (SMMT). It was the best June since 2019, helping lift first half performance 3.5% above the same period last year, although the market remains 17.9% behind pre-Covid levels. Once again, the market was driven by fleet activity, though private retail demand grew 5.9%. New petrol registrations declined 4.2% and diesel volumes were flat (+0.2%), meaning their combined share of the market is now just over half (51.6%), with total electrified vehicle registrations (92,571) achieving a 48.5% market share. Registrations of vehicles with plugs rose strongly as battery electric vehicles (BEVs) jumped 39.1% to 47,354 units, equivalent to a quarter (24.8%) of the market, and plug-in hybrid electric vehicles (PHEVs) grew 28.8% to 21,382 units. The market for new hybrid electric vehicles (HEVs), meanwhile, fell by 8.5% to 23,835 registrations. Across the first six months of 2025 new BEV registrations have risen 34.6% to 224,841 units but, at 21.6% market share, they remain significantly behind the 28% mandated for this year. Moreover, the SMMT said achieving this level of market penetration has required discounts totalling £6.5 billion over the last 18 months. In a recent survey of automotive CEOs carried out for SMMT's new Automotive Business Leaders Barometer, more than half (55%) said they believe the UK is significantly behind plan to meet the 2030 end of sale date for new cars powered solely by combustion engines. Mike Hawes, SMMT Chief Executive, said: 'A second consecutive month of growth for the new car market is good news, as is the positive performance of EVs. That EV growth, however, is still being driven by substantial industry support with manufacturers using every channel and unsustainable discounting to drive activity, yet it remains below mandated levels. As we have seen in other countries, government incentives can supercharge the market transition, without which the climate change ambitions we all share will be under threat.'

Buscar Company and Terramer, Inc. Advance Hemp Bioplastics to Combat Microplastic Pollution
Buscar Company (OTCMKTS:CGLD) BEVERLY HILLS, CA, CA, UNITED STATES, July 3, 2025 / / -- Buscar Company (OTC: CGLD), a diversified holding company focused on sustainable energy and natural resources, today affirms its commitment to addressing the global microplastic pollution crisis through its April 11, 2025, acquisition of a 50% stake in Terramer, Inc., a leader in hemp-based bioplastics, via a strategic stock-swap transaction. This partnership advances scalable, biodegradable solutions to protect ecosystems and public health, aligning with environmental priorities championed by advocates like Minister Robert F. Kennedy Jr. However, Buscar is not directly collaborating with the U.S. government. Addressing a Global Crisis Microplastic pollution poses a severe threat to ecosystems and human health. According to a 2023 UN Environment Programme report, approximately 1.2 million metric tons of microplastics enter the oceans annually from sources such as tire wear and synthetic textiles. A 2024 study by the University of California, San Diego, estimates that individuals ingest up to 200,000 microplastic particles per year through food and water, with potential links to health risks, including inflammation and antibiotic resistance. 'Hemp bioplastics offer a sustainable path to reduce microplastic pollution,' said Alexander Dekhtyar, CEO of Buscar Company. 'Our partnership with Terramer positions us to deliver innovative solutions that protect our planet and communities.' A Strategic Partnership Buscar's investment in Terramer accelerates the development of TERBO-1000, a hemp-based bioplastic that biodegrades within 180 days, according to ASTM D6400 standards, leaving no microplastic residue. Unlike petroleum-based plastics, which can last for centuries, TERBO-1000 is free of harmful additives like BPA and is suitable for packaging, food service, and industrial uses. The partnership aims to increase production and target key markets by 2026, harnessing hemp's low-water, carbon-sequestering properties. 'Terramer's technology is a game-changer for sustainable materials,' said Alex Mond, Chairman and Founder of Terramer, Inc. 'Together with Buscar, we're driving innovation to combat microplastic pollution.' Strategically Positioned for Generating Revenue Terramer Inc. has achieved significant market traction with a strong portfolio of purchase orders and letters of intent, reflecting growing demand for its innovative TERBO-1000™️ hemp-based bioplastic products. Current purchase orders include a $6,000,000 agreement with a California-based apparel brand for hemp-based parchment papers, a $621,000 order from a national packaging distributor for food containers, a $248,000 order from an Ohio-based distribution facility for additional food containers, an order from an industrial services provider for 10,000 T-shirt bags (12'x7'x22'), and a $138,000 order from a supply company for 9x9 all-black hinged clamshell containers. Additionally, Terramer has secured letters of intent, including one with a sales group for food packaging materials valued up to $80,000,000, another with the same California apparel brand for hemp-based textiles, and a third with a global quick-service restaurant chain for assorted food packaging solutions. These commitments highlight Terramer's expanding presence in the sustainable packaging and textiles markets, positioning it to capitalize on the rapidly growing bioplastics industry. Aligned with Environmental Goals The partnership between Buscar and Terramer advances the urgent demand for eco-friendly alternatives, targeting the replacement of a significant portion of the US$185.82–226.29 billion global single-use plastics market, including US$33.03–33.48 billion in the U.S., used in food packaging, restaurants, consumer goods, and agricultural films. Their innovative hemp bioplastic products aim to replace conventional plastics in these applications, aligning with global efforts to combat plastic pollution through enhanced recycling systems and bans on harmful plastics. Robert F. Kennedy Jr., U.S. Secretary of Health and Human Services, emphasized during his speech at the Chemicals of Concern Policy Summit: 'Microplastics from food and food production assembly lines and packaging don't only end up on our food, they also contaminate our soil, our water, our oceans, and from there they re-enter the food supply!' Commitment to Sustainability Buscar and Terramer are dedicated to reducing microplastic pollution through innovative, hemp-based solutions. By advancing TERBO-1000, this partnership paves the way for a sustainable economy that prioritizes environmental and public health. About Buscar Company Buscar Company (OTC: CGLD) is a diversified holding firm focused on natural resources, sustainable technologies, and pharmaceuticals. Based in Beverly Hills, California, Buscar manages Eon Discovery Inc., which handles gold mining operations in California's Plumas National Forest; Terramer Inc., a leader in hemp-based biodegradable bioplastics; and Armorgenix, a pharmaceutical innovator specializing in detoxification and antiviral solutions. Formed through a strategic evolution, including a 2020 reverse merger with Eon Discovery, Buscar aims to drive growth and increase shareholder value through innovation and diversification.
