EUROFIMA is pleased to announce the conclusion of a framework agreement for up to EUR 22 million with BDZ Passengers EOOD (BDZ), the Bulgarian national passenger rail operator.

The first tranche, amounting to EUR 8.1 million, is scheduled for disbursement on 1 April 2026, with a tenor of 10 years. The financing will support the acquisition of 35 second-hand intercity passenger coaches, previously operated in Germany, which will be deployed in public rail services in Bulgaria. These passenger cars are equipped with HVAC systems and have undergone multiple modernization programs throughout their service life, including fully refurbished interiors and the installation of external passenger information systems (PIS). Each unit offers seating for up to 80 passengers.

EUROFIMA is proud to conclude this transaction, reaffirming its public mission in Bulgaria by supporting regional connectivity and enhancing mobility offerings through a sustainable and environmentally friendly solution.
