Bulgaria's sales of new cars grew by 21.3% in the first half of 2011 year-on-year, according to data of the Association of Car Importers.
A total of 10 954 new vehicles were sold in Bulgaria in January-June 2011, including 10 287 new cars (an increase of 19.6% year-on-year), and 667 buses and trucks (an increase of 69% compared with 2010 H1).
The increase in the number of sold buses and trucks is also boosted by Scania's inclusion as a member of the Association as Scania's sales were not recorded previously.
