In order to achieve this objective, emissions of road and other transport pollutants emitted in the atmosphere of Bulgaria are linked to the transport performance indicators and the average distance of travel of road transport as the most used transport option. In the course of the analysis, positive trends in the development of two important indicators measuring carbon dioxide (CO2) from road transport in thousand tons from 1 ton freight and carbon dioxide (CO2) from road transport in thousand tons on 1 km travelled distance.
