Bombardier Wins a Series of Orders In North America for its New Generation of Bi-Level Commuter Rail Cars MONTREAL, QUEBEC--FEBRUARY 19, 2002 - 09:25 EST Bombardier Transportation was awarded, over the last few weeks, a series of orders for the manufacture and supply of its new generation of bi-level commuter rail cars from four North American transportation authorities: the North San Diego County Transit District, the Central Puget Sound Regional Transit Authority, the San Joaquin Regional Rail Commission and the Fort Worth Transportation Authority. The total value of the contracts is approximately $92 million CDN ($58 million US). These contracts total 12 cab cars and 18 coaches that will be manufactured by Bombardier at its Thunder Bay (Ontario) and Barre (Vermont) facilities. Deliveries are scheduled during the year 2003. "Our customers have seized this opportunity and we are pleased to supply this latest series of our bi-level equipment. This new generation represents our solution to some of the most important challenges public transit authorities have to face in these times," said William Spurr, President of Bombardier Transportation, North America. These cars will be compliant with the new FRA Tier I regulations as well as the recently published APTA PRESS standards. These new Bombardier bi-level commuter rail cars are the next generation of the most widely used passenger rail car design in North America. They are thoroughly proven, and the equipment is trouble free. Bombardier Transportation has been manufacturing bi-levels since 1975 when it started the original production models for GO Transit, in Toronto. Since then, Bombardier has produced more than 660 bi-level cars that are now operated by ten different public transit authorities in the United States and Canada. Over the past 27 years, significant investments have allowed Bombardier Transportation to enhance the basic design and make other improvements while being successful in maintaining a price that satisfies its customers' objectives and requirements. "Bombardier Transportation takes special pride in its highly popular bi-level technology, the ideal choice of today's commuter rail operators," added Mr. Spurr. The bi-level passenger rail vehicle is one of the largest-capacity cars in the world, designed to maximize passenger capacity, comfort and operating economies. It has proven to be a successful choice throughout North America with cars currently in service in Toronto, Vancouver, Greater Los Angeles, San Diego County, between Stockton and San Jose, Greater Seattle, Fort Worth, Northern Virginia and South Florida. The Peninsula Commuter Service between San Jose and San Francisco recently received 17 bi-levels to be placed into service by the summer of 2002. Bombardier Transportation has a major presence in North America, employing some 5,450 people across Canada, Mexico and the United States. Headquartered in Montreal, It operates 9 manufacturing facilities in La Pocatiere (Quebec), Kingston and Thunder Bay (Ontario), Vancouver (British Columbia), in Canada, Sahagun, in Mexico, Auburn and Plattsburgh (NY), Barre (VT) and Pittsburg (CA) in the United States. It operates maintenance centres in Toronto, Los Angeles, Philadelphia, Washington (DC) and New York. Bombardier Transportation is the global leader in the rail equipment, manufacturing and servicing industry. Its wide range of products includes passenger rail cars and complete rail transportation systems.
