Deputy Minister of Transport, Information Technology and Communications Anguel Popov opened TRUCK EXPO 2019. He greeted the organizers and the participants on behalf of Minister Rossen Jeliazkov, noting that our country has a modern and fast increasing fleet, which turns Bulgaria into one of the most powerful and successful leaders in Europe, as far as international haulage is concerned. “This sector is expanding every year and along with the employment of a lot of people, it is a significant factor in the formation of the GDP”, he also added.
We in the Ministry of Transport, Information Technology and Communications treat extremely serious the problems of those employed in the haulage sector. We work hard to protect the rights of the Bulgarian hauliers at both national and international level. Bulgaria has its place at the European and the world markets and we will defend that right”, pointed out Deputy Minister Anguel Popov.
In addition, the Deputy Minister said that not only new heavy vehicle models and buses could be seen at the exhibition but also modern safety systems for the drivers and the other road users. In his words, this trend will have a significant impact on reducing heavy vehicle and bus transport accidents, as well as improving the road safety and the environment.
For a consecutive year, TRUCK EXPO 2019 is held at the Lesnovo Airport. The event is organized by the Automobile Manufacturers Association.
