In recent years, freight volumes in the sector, with it reaching up 10% in however, the freight volume has decreased and the comparison to other types of transport. The traction- company has reported negative financial indicators. The changes that have occurred in Bulgarian economy, the rolling stock is growing old, which leads to operative market’s liberalization, the impossibility for making problems, increased repair costs and deteriorated quality investments, the obsolete rolling stock, the deteriorating of services, which respectively reduces the competitive quality of transport services and the reduced competitive power. power are among the main reasons for that.

  • CP Stations in Ruse Multilanguage V2.1-EN
    AXECARD’s stations network expands to Bulgaria 29 March 2021, AXEGAZ Trading and Technologies SAS ("ATT") continues expanding the network of LNG and CNG stations accepting the AXECARD . We have recently added two new stations in Bulgaria, both based in Ruse , on the Danube, near the border with Romania. The network of stations that accept the AXECARD, with all information including their status in real time can be browsed via the AXECARD mobile phone application: The LNG station is situated in the heart of the Danube Industrial Zone TEGRA and is the first and only of its kind in Bulgaria. The station is located at the following coordinates 43.9025717792975 N , 26.063466944998567 E . It is easily accessible via Route 21 , heading to the East from the Danube Bridge Roundabout . AXECARD’s stations network expands to Bulgaria 29 March 2021 The other station distributes CNG . It is positioned in Ruse Western Industrial Zone at the following coordinates: 43.82130280144999 N, 25.928356611096156 E The address 74 bul.3ti Mart is swiftly accessible from both East and West lanes of E85 via the exit to Route 5 and bul. 3ti Mart . LNG as a road fuel: economic, competitive and strategic Natural gas is incontestably the fuel of the future for heavy-duty vehicles. The use of Liquid Natural Gas (LNG) growth is particularly strong as it offers the key advantage of a range of up to 1,700 km with a double tank, thus overcoming a major limitation posed by Compressed Natural Gas (CNG) at the same time maintaining a great economic and environmental advantage of natural gas over diesel: • 20% reduction of CO2 emissions, (and up to 90% bio-LNG now available), • 96% reduction fine particles, • 70% reduction of nitrogen dioxides.

  • Profilul Investitional Al Euroregiunii Ruse-Giurgiu
    DAS INVESTITIONSPROFIL DER EUROREGION RUSE-GIURGIU 2012 1. Vorwort Liebe Leser, Ich habe die Ehre, in dem Namen von über 200.000 Einwohnern der Euroregion Ruse-Giurgiu die echte und warme Einladung zu senden, um zusammen mit uns die Ressourcen und die Schönheit dieses Gebiets, das seit über 2000 Jahren ein Gastgeber für zwei Völker – Rumänisch und Bulgarisch ist, zu genießen. Ob in der Vergangenheit die Donau diejenige war, die beiden Gemeinden getrennt hat, ist in der Gegenwart der Fluss derjenige, der uns verbindet. Dieser macht uns mit Zuversicht in der Richtung einer europäischen Zukunft anzuschauen. Außerdem, wir sind jetzt bedingt wie eine große Familie zu denken und zu handeln. Die Euroregion Ruse – Giurgiu ist derzeit die größte städtische Gemeinde an der rumänischen – bulgarischen Grenze und der wichtigste Verkehrsknotenpunkt zwischen den beiden Staaten, seit 2007 Mitglieder mit vollen Kräften der Europäischen Union, und weiter an den Märkten des Mittelmeerraums und Kleinasien. Auf anderer Seite, hat die Euroregion eine einzigartige strategische Position in Süd-Ost Europa, denn sie befindet sich an der Kreuzung der paneuropäischen Korridoren, die Nord – und Westeuropa und Asien verbindet. Man behauptet hier, dass Giurgiu Hafen der näheste Hafen von Rumäniens Hauptstadt – Bukarest – ist, die ein Markt von rund 3 Milionen Verbraucher, befindet nur 65 Kilometer weit, ist. Die beiden städtischen Gemeinden aus der Euroregion – Ruse und Giurgiu – polasieren zwei überwiegend ländliche Gemeinden, mit über 300.000 Hektar von fruchtbarem Land, ideal für den ökologischen Landbau, Ressourcen des Landes (Öl, Gas, Baustoffe), aber auch den Gang von Donau, wo über 10.000 Hektar von großen Parks und Naturschützgebieten, mit einzigartigen Landschaften auf europäischem Niveau, sich finden.
