ALSTOM CHOSEN TO SUPPLY NEW COMMUTER TRAINS FOR
VALPARAISO IN CHILE
MERVAL (Metro Regional de Valparaiso) has awarded ALSTOM a contract worth more
than 85 million euro in net present value for the supply and maintenance of
commuter trains. These trains will operate on the existing 43-kilometre line
which links Valparaiso, Vi&ntidle;a del Mar and Limache. The investment comes
within the frame of the "Cuarta Etapa" project, which aims to improve the area's
infrastructure and level of public transport by rehabilitating the existing
MERVAL line and acquiring new rolling stock.
For this contract, MERVAL has opted for X'TRAPOLIS™ trains, similar to
those presently delivered to the Hill side network in Melbourne (Australia). The
basic configuration consists of 28 two-car trains with a capacity of 392
passengers* able to operate at speeds up to 120 km/h. ALSTOM will also be
responsible for the maintenance of the trains and workshops.
The trains will be manufactured in ALSTOM's factories in Europe, and notably the
La Rochelle plant in France. Deliveries are expected to start in March 2005, and
commercial operation is scheduled to start in autumn of the same year.
Michel Moreau, President of ALSTOM's Transport Sector, said: "Our long
experience in the supply of rolling stock and maintenance services to transit
equipment, not only in Chile but also world-wide, provides us with a sound basis
for a successful long-term partnership with MERVAL. We are pleased to
participate in Chile's program of modernisation of its mass transit network."

ALSTOM AWARDED 980 MILLION EURO CONTRACT TO SUPPLY
660 SUBWAY CARS TO NEW YORK CITY
The Metropolitan Transportation Authority - New York City Transit (MTA-NYCT)
Board of Directors voted today to award ALSTOM in partnership with Kawasaki a
980 million euro contract ( 961 million $ ) for the design and manufacture of
660 new heavy rail subway cars. The contract includes supply of the cars, spare
parts, special tools and training.
The award also includes two options totalling an additional 1000 - 1040 cars for
a total contract value of 2.4 billion euros ( 2.358 billion $ ) if exercised by
the MTA-NYCT.
The new carriages will replace R32, R38, R40 and R42 cars, and give the NYCT
additional new carriages for expansion purposes. The 660 cars of the base order
will be delivered in a 2006-2007 timeframe.
"ALSTOM is very pleased to have won this highly competitive tender where our
advanced technology and efficient manufacturing capabilities were the key
success factors to supply the MTA-NYCT with its new trains," said Michel Moreau,
President of ALSTOM's Transport Sector. "This new contract further demonstrates
the market confidence in our products and commitment to quality and service.
Many of the leading transit systems across the US and around the world have
chosen ALSTOM and we are delighted to be working with the MTA on this major
project. Winning such a significant contract from the world's largest subway
fleet operator is a credit to all of our employees and a major accomplishment in
ALSTOM's strategy to be one of the leaders in the U.S. passenger rail business."
The body shells will be manufactured in ALSTOM's facilities in Lapa, Brazil, and
the cars will be built up and tested in Hornell, near New York.
This success follows the 137 million euro ( 129 million $ ) order received on
20th June from the Washington Metropolitan Area Transportation Authority (WMATA)
for 62 new cars.
