Bombardier Continues Award-Winning Safe Boating Leadership this Summer LONGUEUIL, QUEBEC--JUNE 27, 2000--As the 1999 winner of the Canadian Safe Boating Council award for "Industry Leadership In Boating Safety", and the recipient of the Canadian Coast Guard's "Boating Safety 2000" certificate, Bombardier Recreational Products announces its continued participation in a Watercraft Safety Program to encourage safe summer fun and environmentally-friendly boating on our nation's waterways. The Canadian manufacturer of Sea-Doo(R) personal watercraft and sport boats is a long standing champion of safe and responsible family boating. "Since the market introduction of our first Sea-Doo watercraft in 1988, we have put the importance of water sports and pleasure boating safety hand in hand with the quality, reliability and safety of our marine products," said Benoit Lafortune, Vice President, Sales and Communications. "That's why we have partnered with provincial safety and enforcement agencies to deliver safety education and environmental responsibility messages to the six million Canadians who will go boating this summer." To highlight its dedication to boating safety, Bombardier Recreational Products is participating in the official launch of the "Tournee Sea-Doo(R) Energie" in Quebec in partnership with the LifeSaving Society. In this award-winning program, two experienced boating safety teams will visit marinas, personal watercraft rides, authorized Sea-Doo dealers and special events throughout Quebec to champion zero tolerance for drinking and boating, and other key water safety and environment messages. They will also promote the urgency of getting trained this summer and acquiring the new "Pleasure Craft Operator Card", introduced by the Canadian Coast Guard last year. Bombardier Recreational Products is also pleased to cornerstone its Watercraft Safety Program with exclusive boating industry benchmarks for safety and the environment. The new Sea-Doo Learning Key(TM) lanyard, found on both the GTX(1) DI and RX (TM) DI models, enables first-time riders, less experienced riders and rental operators to limit the speed of their Sea-Doo watercraft to approximately 56 km/h (35 mph) and to learn how to operate them, while gaining needed confidence and experience. Bombardier also continues to lead the way by pioneering environmentally friendly innovations. For the 2000 model year, new Orbital* Direct Injection technology, which reduces hydrocarbon emissions by as much as 75 %, joins the Rotax(R) Fuel Injection (RFI) system introduced two years ago. Meanwhile, Bombardier's break-through D-Sea-Bel(TM) sound reduction system is standard on all 2000 Sea-Doo models, resulting in a 50 % quieter ride. Bombardier Recreational Products designs, develops, builds, distributes and markets Ski-Doo(R) and Lynx(R) snowmobiles, snowgrooming equipment and multi-purpose tracked vehicles, Sea-Doo(R) watercraft and sport boats, Bombardier all-terrain vehicles and Bombardier NV(TM) neighborhood vehicles. Snowmobiles, ATV, watercraft and some sport boats are powered by Rotax(R) engines that are designed and built by Bombardier-Rotax GmbH which also builds motors for motorcycles and scooters. Bombardier Inc., a diversified manufacturing and service company, is a world leading manufacturer of business jets, regional aircraft, rail transportation equipment and motorized recreational products. It is also a provider of financial services and asset management. The Corporation employs 56,000 people in 12 countries in North America, Europe and Asia, and more than 90 % of its revenues are generated outside Canada. Bombardier's revenues for its fiscal year ended Jan. 31, 2000 totalled $13.6 billion. (R)(TM) Trademarks of Bombardier Inc. and/or its subsidiaries.
