NEW COMMUTER TRAINS AND TRAMS WORTH
€168 MILLION FOR PARIS TRANSPORT AUTHORITY
RATP, Paris's mass transit authority, has awarded ALSTOM two new orders for the
supply of double-decker commuter trains and CITADIS tramways, worth a total
of €168 million.
The first order, worth €147 million, is for the supply of 14 trains composed of
five double-decker cars. The trains, for the Paris RER commuter A line, will
offer increased passenger comfort and allow the RATP to respond to increasing
passenger traffic on the line. Bombardier will also contribute to this order as
supplier of the end cars; their share of the order is approximately 30 percent.
The new trains will enter into commercial operation in June 2004. The order
brings the total number of double-deck commuter cars sold to RATP to 215.
The second order, worth €21 million, is for the supply of 13 CITADIS trams. The
order constitutes the second phase of a project to improve the passenger
transport offer on the T2 tramway line (La Défense-Issy Val de Seine), which
will be extended.
Delivery and entry into commercial operation of the trams is scheduled from
January to September 2004. The CITADIS trams from the first phase of the project
entered into commercial service on 1st December 2002.

ALSTOM IS AWARDED TWO ORDERS
TOTALIZING €110 MILLION IN THE
HIGH ADDED VALUE SHIPS MARKET
ALSTOM, through its subsidiary ALSTOM Leroux Naval, recently secured two orders
worth a total of approximately €110 million.
ALSTOM has signed a first contract with the French Ifremer Institute for the
construction of an oceanographic ship named "Pourquoi Pas ?", which is due for
delivery at the beginning of 2005. Equipped to sail in all seas, she will be
fitted to achieve any mission in the fields of deep-sea, coastal oceanographic
and hydrographic research. This 105 metre vessel will be capable of carrying
Ifremer's large scale equipment, such as the manned submersible Nautile, the
remotely controlled submersible Victor 6000, or new launches of the French
Navy's Hydrographic and Oceanographic Department (SHOM). This civilian ship will
be used 200 days per year by Ifremer and 150 days by the French Navy.
In addition, ALSTOM has entered the mega-yacht market, with the award of a
contract for the construction of a luxury ship, more than 70 metres in length.
These two ships will be built in the ALSTOM Leroux Naval shipyard in Lorient
(Brittany).
These two orders will allow ALSTOM's Marine Sector to continue to grow in the
high added-value ships market, where it already holds leading positions (cruise
ships, standard and high speed ferries, naval vessels, specialised ships and LNG
carriers).
