Volvo Bulgaria said it opened a new service centre worth 3.3 million levs in Plovdiv, the second biggest city in Bulgaria. This is the fourth centre Volvo opens in Bulgaria, the company said in a statement. It is situated on a total 5,000 square metres with a capacity to service 3,000 trucks annually.

"The opening of our new centre is a good sign for Business revival in the region and for the gradual recovery of the truck market in Bulgaria, which went through a very difficult time in 2009 and 2010," Volvo Bulgaria managing director Alexander Sanin said. The positive trend is a fact, and truck sales in the country in the first five months of 2011 grew 40%, he added.
