Bombardier Wins $157-Million Order for Low-Floor Trams in Germany MONTREAL, QUEBEC--JUNE 5, 2002 - 10:14 EDT Bombardier Transportation has received an order to manufacture 60 low-floor trams, type LF2000, for the city of Frankfurt/Main, Germany. The contract, which is valued at approximately $157 million CDN (109 million euros), carries an option for eleven additional vehicles. The order is the first one awarded to Bombardier Transportation by the Transport Authority of Frankfurt (VGF). The modern 70% low-floor vehicles are scheduled for delivery between spring 2004 and spring 2007. Bombardier Transportation's site in Bautzen, Germany is responsible for the development and production of the vehicles, as well as for the system integration. The German site in Mannheim will supply the electrical components. Dr. Hubert C. Dlaska, President Light Rail Vehicles, Bombardier Transportation, said: "With the LF2000 tram, VGF chose a proven concept of an already very successfully operating vehicle. We are looking forward to co-operating with such a competent and experienced partner." The new tram for Frankfurt is 30 meters long and 2.40 meters wide - five centimetres wider than the vehicles currently in service. It has a capacity of 179 passengers, including 64 seated. The vehicles are based on tested components of the LF2000 family, which has already proven to be a success in the cities of Kassel, Essen and Schwerin, Germany as well as Krakow, Poland. The German cities of Dresden and Halle will soon take delivery of the same type of vehicles. With its innovative design, the Bombardier tram is sure to set a visual highlight in the local transport of the banking centre Frankfurt.

Bombardier Presents The New Outlander ATV Targeting the Largest ATV Market Segment VALCOURT, QUEBEC--JUNE 6, 2002 - 14:29 EDT Bombardier Recreational Products announces the launch of the new 2003 Outlander(TM) ATV. This tough "Rec-Ute" (recreational-utility) is a mid-sized quad that heralds a new sporty look, feel, ride and weight in the growing family of Bombardier ATV models. "The Outlander is the newest addition to our line-up of innovative ATVs. It offers the best value in its class and we believe this striking ATV is destined to capture the heart of ATV enthusiasts," said Jose Boisjoli, President, Marketing, Snowmobiles, Watercraft and ATVs. "In a sneak preview last winter, the Outlander ATV scored immediate accolades from the media and dealers for its bold look and its impressive list of standard features." Powered by a reliable, high performance 400cc, second generation 4-TEC(TM) Rotax(R) engine, the Outlander also features Bombardier's revolutionary Surrounding Spar Technology (SST(TM)) frame. This one-piece perimeter steel frame provides greater strength, structural integrity, better engine protection, and superior power-to-weight ratio. The SST frame delivers a narrower bottom profile "runner", whose "slide and glide" action allows the Outlander to virtually "ski" across obstacles without getting hung up. The Outlander ATV design is the result of out-of-the-box thinking that has repositioned many essential components for greater effectiveness and efficiency. With the launch of the Outlander, Bombardier introduces its highly innovative TTI(TM) (Trailing Torsional Independent) rear suspension that provides superior ride comfort over a broad range of terrain and conditions. This new system repositions the two independent pivot points so that the rear wheels travel in a predictable straight "up-and-down" line when encountering bumps. Another industry first is the Outlander's hydraulic disc brakes, which have been relocated inboard to the center of the chassis from the traditional placement at the wheel-hubs. This radical move improves hydraulic efficiency and handling control, plus provides far greater damage protection while significantly reducing contamination of the disc surfaces. Even the Outlander's major service components have been grouped in one very accessible location, thereby improving ease of regular maintenance. Standard Outlander ATV features include CVT automatic transmission, Bombardier's new TTI fully independent rear suspension, 2WD/4WD selectability, full floorboards, and an eye-catching, molded rack design. The entire Outlander package adds up to a fast-response ATV that handles predictably while offering easier riding, easy steering, and the solid stopping power of hydraulic brakes. The new Bombardier Outlander promises to be the strongest new contender in the mid-sized ATV market for 2003. This new model will be available at dealerships before the beginning of the new year.
