A Czech company has been selected to provide Bulgaria with modern trains, adding to existing Czech-made trams and trolleybuses already in operation within the country. Ostrava, the third-largest city in the Czech Republic, is a key industrial hub and the origin of this railway technology. The deal signifies continued collaboration between Bulgaria and the Czech Republic in the transportation sector, a relationship that dates back to the socialist era. While Ostrava may not be widely known in Bulgaria, it is recognized within European industrial circles for its manufacturing capabilities. This contract represents a further expansion of Czech-made railway vehicles in Bulgaria’s public transport system. Details regarding the specific number of trains and the financial terms of the agreement have not been disclosed. The move aims to modernize Bulgaria’s rail infrastructure.
