Bulgaria continues to expand the use of electric buses in public transport. More than €60 million has been invested in modernising transport infrastructure across 30 municipalities under the National Recovery and Resilience Plan (NRRP), as part of the “Environmentally Friendly Mobility” initiative.
According to information published by the Bulgarian news outlet Banker, the initiative has supported the delivery of 99 electric buses and 82 charging stations. In addition, more than 26 km of cycling infrastructure has been developed, 270 pedestrian crossings have been improved for greater safety, and six intelligent digital transport management solutions have been implemented.
The participating municipalities include Gabrovo, Sevlievo, Kazanlak, Pazardzhik, Sandanski, Petrich, Pernik, Sliven, Vratsa, and others. Nearly 940,000 residents are benefiting from upgraded urban infrastructure and improved opportunities for cleaner, safer, and more accessible mobility.
