Summary
The response process of the countries of Europe regarding the requirements for the development of a low-carbon and ecological environment pose many challenges to individual countries. The implementation of the norms laid down in the European Green Pact requires actions in various economic spheres in the corporate, production, public and private sectors. The subject of the present work is the low-carbon transport in Europe. The basis of the present work is the derivation of a comparative analysis of carbon dioxide emissions - average level for the period 2007-2018 (thousands) and the sale of passenger cars - average level for the period 2007-2020. For the purposes of focusing of the study on the development of low-carbon transport in Europe and the applied tax breaks and purchase incentives on a wider scale, the local measures used in individual countries are analysed. The thesis on which the author emphasizes is related to the statement that Bulgaria should follow good practices in the EU, related to incentives for the purchase of cars with low carbon dioxide emissions, as well as tax breaks.

The tasks that have been set with this work are as follows:

- to introduce the measures for decarbonization of road transport;

- to analyze the state of carbon dioxide emissions - average level for the period 2007-2018 (thousands) and the sale of passenger cars - average level for the period 2007-2020;

- to compare the applied tax reductions and purchase incentives aimed at improving the environmental friendliness of the car fleet in European countries.

As a result of the analysis, it is concluded, that there are good practices of financial promotion in some European countries and the justified need to review the tax policy related to the taxation of cars in developing European countries, such as: Bulgaria, Estonia, Italy, Lithuania, Poland, Romania, Slovakia and Slovenia.
