Bulgaria has increased the number of natural gas vehicles (NGVs) in the country by 33% in one year, according to a report released by Overgas Inc. AD, a domestic natural gas infrastructure provider. The count for vehicles powered by compressed natural gas (CNG) now stands at 60,000. CNG refuelling facilities have also expanded, now numbering 77. A negotiated gas price reduction from 1st July, making it the best value as well as the most environmentally friendly of locally provided fuels, should help to further stimulate growth.

CNG-powered public transport has increased in popularity also amongst service providers. As of June 2009, there are 67 vehicles on CNG n Sofia, 23 in Varna, and 12 in Burgas.  Hebrosbus recently announced that they are buying 30 new CNG buses to serve the Pazardzhik region, the report said.

The Bulgarian National Gas Vehicle Association website provides information on CNG station locations.
