The reforms aims to stimulate the development of zero-emission and low-emission transport in Bulgaria, by creating low-emission zones in the largest and most polluted cities, providing incentives for zero-emission vehicles, and developing a wide network of alternative fuels infrastructure (electric charging stations). In particular, the reform shall introduce a new legislative framework to promote the deployment of electric charging infrastructure and zero-emission vehicles and limiting the use of the most polluting vehicles. It shall include legislative measures to promote zero-emission mobility. It shall include incentives and regulation changes for building of electric charging stations infrastructure and incentives to increase of zero-emission electric vehicles (both procured by public entities and purchased/leased/owned by private entities or individuals) in line with the “polluter pays” principle, such as scrapping schemes for most polluting vehicles (EURO 3 and below) and adjustment of ownership/registration taxes based on emission levels. The reform shall also result in the installation of 5 000 electric charging points, including fast ones, across Bulgaria, and in the total number of 30 000 zero-emission vehicles (new or used cars) registered in Bulgaria, as well as the introduction of low-emission zones in the country’s largest and most polluted cities. The reform shall be completed by 30 June 2026.
