196 mobility manufacturers, ready to approach

The Mobility file (auto, bike) brings together the sector's manufacturers and parts suppliers across the three countries (Bulgaria, Romania, Turkey) : wiring harnesses and auto sensors, spare parts, tyres, batteries, bikes and e-bikes. Each is registered with an official registry, with its public contact details and a confidence score. You target one universe, whatever the country.

Why Fenchell, and how the directory is built

We are a firm based in Plovdiv, Bulgaria, since 2018, in daily contact with online sellers launching, registering and importing their own brand of auto accessories, spare parts or bikes. This directory extends that work : it was built by cross-checking the official trade registries of Bulgaria, Romania and Turkey, keeping only genuinely registered manufacturers and parts suppliers, then removing dead websites and personal email addresses (GDPR compliance). You are not paying for a raw export, but for a cleaned, structured and scored database. Last compiled from the official registries : 2026.

Every record is designed to move you straight into action :

What each record contains

Legal name and local name, official registration number (EIK in Bulgaria, CUI in Romania, MERSIS in Turkey), universe, category and sub-segment, region and city, products, white-label capability, headcount, year founded, website, generic email and phone when public, notes and sources.

A spreadsheet ready to run

Built-in tracking columns (My status, Priority, Contacted on, Follow up on, My notes) with drop-down menus and colour coding : your directory becomes a mini prospecting CRM, filterable by country, city or universe.

Our transparency pledge

We prefer fair expectations to a fine promise. The directory gives you qualified contacts to approach yourself, not a guarantee of an order :

  • Non-exhaustive list : the directory is a qualified selection, not a census of every manufacturer. We list those we have identified and cross-checked against the official registries, and we enrich it regularly ; the absence of a specific company is therefore not a flaw in the file ;
  • you contact the suppliers directly, with no intermediary and no commission ;
  • responsiveness and terms (MOQ, prices, lead times) belong to each manufacturer and vary ;
  • it is a digital file delivered immediately : by ticking the consent box at checkout, you request immediate delivery and expressly waive the 14-day right of withdrawal (digital content) ;
  • one-off payment, no subscription.

The sector

Mobility in Eastern Europe and Turkey : the landscape

Sourcing in mobility means stepping into one of Europe's densest supply chains. The region combines three very different worlds : the car assembly of the big carmakers (Dacia, Ford, Renault, Toyota), the tier-1 equipment that feeds them (wiring harnesses, sensors, tyres, batteries), and a far more accessible branch for e-commerce : aftermarket spare parts, bikes and e-bikes, trailers and accessories. An honest word up front : the OEM and tier-1 universe works in very large volumes, with dedicated tooling and multi-year contracts. It is not the right ground for a small B2C run. For small batches, aim instead at the aftermarket, bikes and e-bikes, and trailers. The real crux is not the price of the part, but type approval : that is what decides whether you can sell at all.

Country by country

Mobility in Bulgaria : cabling, sensors and the e-bike capital

Bulgaria is a quiet heavyweight of automotive electronics. Its cluster brings together more than 380 companies and 80,000 jobs, around a clear specialism : wiring harnesses, sensors and embedded electronics. You find Yazaki (sites in Yambol, Sliven and Haskovo, several thousand people), Sensata in Botevgrad, the semiconductor designer Melexis in Sofia, alongside Visteon, Kostal or Magna. But the most interesting asset for e-commerce is elsewhere : the Plovdiv region is one of Europe's great basins for the pedal-assist bike. Maxcom (Plovdiv) assembles more than 400,000 cycles a year and ranks among Europe's e-bike leaders ; Leader 96 is based in Kuklen, in a cluster centred on Plovdiv and Rakovski. Monbat batteries (Montana) complete the picture. Two caveats : these bikes are assembled (the frames come from Asia or Taiwan, never « made in Bulgaria »), and the cabling world chases cost, to the point where one site (SE Bordnetze, Sumitomo group) closes in 2026 : a clear signal that tier-1 chases cost. Find these parts suppliers and assemblers among the Bulgarian suppliers in the directory.

Mobility in Romania : the real automotive hub

Romania is the true automotive hub of the trio : the sector accounts for around 13% of GDP and about a quarter of exports. Cars are assembled there (Dacia in Mioveni, Ford in Craiova), along with driveline components (Mercedes gearboxes and e-drive in Sebeș and Cugir). The country is a giant in cabling : Yazaki, Leoni, Kromberg concentrate there, with Poland and Hungary, a large share of European capacity. On the tyre side, you find Continental in Timișoara, Pirelli in Slatina and Michelin in Zalău. Romania is also among the EU's leading bike assemblers (Decathlon/Madirom in Timișoara at the front, DHS in Deva), but here again it is assembly : the frames are imported from Asia or Taiwan, and the Romanian brand Pegas is even made and assembled in Taiwan. Never say « frame made in Romania ». For small runs, the OEM and tier-1 ecosystem (large volumes) is a poor fit : aim at the aftermarket, bikes and trailers. The Romanian suppliers in the directory detail these players.

Mobility in Turkey : the region's big auto base

Turkey is a major automotive base, with Oyak-Renault, Tofaş, Ford Otosan, Toyota and Hyundai plants. Its strength for e-commerce is auto parts, concentrated around Bursa and the Marmara region : the parts suppliers' association TAYSAD claims more than 540 members, and 69% of exports go to the European Union. The country is also a heavyweight in tyres (Brisa/Lassa in Kocaeli, Petlas in Kırşehir) and has bike assemblers such as Salcano in Istanbul. The reference event is the Automechanika Istanbul trade fair. One point to keep in mind : Turkey is in the customs union, not in the EU. The A.TR certificate cancels customs duties on industrial goods, but import VAT (20%) is still due. Explore the Turkish parts suppliers via the suppliers in Turkey.

The quick comparison

To source in mobility : Romania for the true OEM hub and cabling, Bulgaria for automotive electronics and Europe's e-bike capital, Turkey for spare parts and tyres. Above all, for small runs, look towards the aftermarket and bikes/e-bikes rather than OEM and tier-1 volumes.

Compliance (non-negotiable)

Mobility standards : what you need before selling in the EU

Mobility is a heavily regulated sector, and you must distinguish two registers : what is a legal requirement to place on the market and what is a quality system demanded by the buyers. Before any sale in the European Union :

  • the « E » (or « e ») mark evidences type approval under the UNECE (ECE) regulations ; it is mandatory to sell many auto items (lighting, braking, tyres, glazing) ;
  • bikes fall under the EN ISO 4210 standard (safety requirements), and pedal-assist bikes (e-bikes/EPAC) under the harmonised standard EN 15194, which underpins their CE marking (a legal requirement) ;
  • child car seats must be approved under the UNECE R129 (i-Size) regulation ;
  • the IATF 16949 framework is the automotive quality management system : it is demanded by carmakers and tier-1 suppliers, but it is not a legal condition for placing on the market.

In other words, the legal part (the « E » mark, CE marking via EN 15194 for e-bikes, R129 for child seats) governs the right to sell ; the quality-system part (IATF 16949) reassures on the supplier's industrial rigour, without replacing type approval. A good parts supplier will provide its IATF certificates and, depending on the parts, the « E » type-approval reports ; it is up to you, as the importer, to ensure the conformity of what you place on the market.

On the ground

MOQ, assembly and pitfalls to avoid

Three pitfalls come up again and again. The first : believing that a bike or an e-bike is made locally. In reality, it is assembled ; the frames come from Asia or Taiwan. The real driver of this European assembly is not frame know-how, but the Union's anti-dumping duties : around 48.5% on classic bikes of Chinese origin, and measures on e-bikes extended until around 2030. Assembling in the EU allows you to escape them and to give the product a European origin. The second pitfall : aiming at OEM and tier-1 for a small run. These players work in large volumes, with dedicated tooling ; the closure of a Bulgarian cabling site (SE Bordnetze/Sumitomo) in 2026 is a reminder that tier-1 chases cost, not the small batch. For low quantities, turn towards the aftermarket, bikes/e-bikes and trailers. The third : underestimating type approval. Require the IATF 16949 certificate, the « E » type-approval reports for the parts concerned and, for e-bikes, EN 15194 conformity. The MOQs, prices and lead times mentioned here are indicative, to be confirmed by quote with each supplier.

The natural next step

The company that goes with your sourcing

Selling auto parts or bikes is not only about finding a manufacturer : it is about carrying the compliance responsibility. Whoever places a product on the EU market (the importer, often you) is answerable for the CE marking of e-bikes (the EN 15194 standard) as well as the « E » type approval of many auto parts. The simplest thing, when you import and sell in the EU, is to have your own European company, with a VAT number and an EORI.

That is exactly what Fenchell's Eurotrade pack does : a Bulgarian company you can run 100% remotely, with corporate tax at 10%, among the lowest in the EU, the VAT number, the EORI and the infrastructure that makes the whole thing genuinely manageable from anywhere. A European base consistent with European sourcing.

The concrete link

A mobility brand that has its bikes assembled in Bulgaria or its parts made in Turkey and sells in the EU needs a European structure to import cleanly, reverse-charge VAT and carry the market-placement responsibility. Bulgaria ticks these boxes with corporate tax among the lightest in the single market. See the guide : form a Bulgarian company remotely.

Frequently asked questions

Are the bike frames really made in Bulgaria or Romania ?
No. Bikes and e-bikes are assembled : the frames are imported from Asia or Taiwan, then fitted and built up on site. Players such as Maxcom (Plovdiv), Leader 96 (Kuklen), Decathlon/Madirom (Timișoara) or DHS (Deva) are assemblers, not frame makers. Talking about a « frame made in Bulgaria or Romania » would be false : this is a claim you should never put to a client.
Why source your e-bikes in the EU rather than in Asia ?
For two reasons. First, the Union's anti-dumping duties : around 48.5% on classic Chinese bikes, and measures on e-bikes extended until around 2030, which make European assembly attractive. Second, compliance : an e-bike sold in the EU must carry the CE marking and comply with the harmonised standard EN 15194. Assembling in the EU simplifies origin and conformity.
What is the MOQ for aftermarket parts versus OEM ?
The minimum quantities of OEM and tier-1 parts suppliers are very high (large volumes, dedicated tooling) and rarely suited to a small e-commerce run. The aftermarket is far more flexible, with MOQs (minimum order quantity) that often sit around 500 to 1,000 pieces per reference. These figures are indicative and to be confirmed by quote depending on the part.
What do IATF 16949 and the « E » mark mean ?
IATF 16949 is the quality management system specific to the automotive industry : it is a requirement of carmakers and tier-1 suppliers, not a legal condition of sale. The « E » (or « e ») mark evidences type approval under the UNECE (ECE) regulations : that one is mandatory to sell many items (lighting, braking, tyres, glazing).
Can you get small runs in mobility ?
Yes, provided you target the right segment. OEM and tier-1 work in large volumes ; for small batches, turn to the aftermarket, bikes and e-bikes, and trailers, which accept far lower quantities. That is the most realistic segment for launching an e-commerce brand in mobility.
