February 20, 2025. Public transport company Centrotrans plans to switch its entire bus fleet to compressed natural gas (CNG) by 2030. Half of the vehicles that it operates in Sarajevo already run on this alternative fuel.
Centrotrans, with its fleet of more than 200 buses, operates local, intercity, and international transport. The company is based in Sarajevo, the capital of Bosnia and Herzegovina.
Over the previous fourteen months, the company invested more than EUR 1.5 million in two infrastructure projects – the construction of a filling station for CNG and a solar power plant.
They significantly contribute to the reduction of harmful emissions and the increase in energy efficiency in the transportation sector, Centrotrans said. It also helps reduce air pollution, one of the biggest environmental issues in BiH.
Currently, 50% of the company’s buses in public transport in Sarajevo are fueled by CNG, so the logical step was to build its own filling station. The unit is available to other owners of vehicles running on natural gas.
The plan is to switch the entire fleet to CNG over the next five years, the firm revealed.
