Pazardzhik Introduces New Electric Buses on Monday

On June 15th, Monday, starting at 10:30 AM, the new electric buses will be officially put into operation in Pazardzhik. They are part of the project “Implementation of Measures to Improve Sustainable Urban Mobility,” carried out by the Pazardzhik Municipality in cooperation with the Peshtera Municipality and the transportation company “HeparBus” AD. The funding comes from the European Union through the National Recovery and Resilience Plan.

The six new electric buses will serve approximately 90% of the city’s public transport lines, primarily operating on the busiest routes No. 2, 2A, 10, and 13.

The buses are low-floor, with a capacity of up to 77 passengers, of which 27 are seated, and provide easy access for people with reduced mobility.

For the reliable operation of the new fleet, six slow-charging stations and one fast-charging station have been built.

All staff responsible for the operation and maintenance of the electric buses – drivers, technicians, and service specialists – completed specialized training at the manufacturer’s base in the Czech Republic, provided by the company SOR.

With the introduction of the new electric buses, public transport in Pazardzhik will become more environmentally friendly, quieter, and more efficient. On the first day of operation, the transportation company “HeparBus” AD is offering free rides for residents and visitors.

During the intervals from 10:00 to 13:00 and from 17:00 to 20:00, residents and guests will be able to use the city transport free of charge.
