ALSTOM has won a Euro45 million commuter-train order from Hamburg S-Bahn and a Euro39
million order for railway systems and infrastructure from Rete Ferroviaria
Italiana (RFI).

Trains for S-Bahn Hamburg

S-Bahn Hamburg, the city's rapid-transit railway, has awarded a consortium
consisting of ALSTOM and Bombardier Transportation an order for the supply of
nine new trains and the rebuilding of 33 existing trains. ALSTOM's share of the
Euro90 million order is Euro45 million.

The 42 three-unit trains will offer service on a new extension of an S-Bahn

different power-supply systems.

Bombardier will supply the electrical equipment.

Railway systems and infrastructure for Milan-Bologna line

dello Stato, has awarded an ALSTOM-led consortium a Euro65 million order to supply
systems and infrastructure for a railway line between Milan and Bologna.
ALSTOM's share of the contract is Euro39 million.

ALSTOM will design, manufacture, install and test the systems for signaling,
train control, telecommunications, power supply and lighting.

The other members of the consortium are the Italian companies Sirti, Ceprini,
Icefs and CLF, which will carry out other engineering and construction work,
such as civil works and trackwork.
