He concluded: “We are delivering answers for these and other pressing issues by focusing on innovation in technology as well as in spirit. It is this commitment to superior solutions, improved safety, efficiency and environmental performance for our customers that continues to make us the global leader in rail technology. We are leading the world of rail transportation into the future.” Showcasing its extensive product range under the motto “The Climate is Right for Trains”, Bombardier Transportation’s highlights at the world’s biggest and most important railway industry fair will include the world debuts of the new BOMBARDIER TALENT 2 regional train and the BOMBARDIER FLEXITY Berlin tram. In addition, Bombardier Transportation will also launch BOMBARDIER ECO4, a new and best-in-class portfolio of technologies, products and services, some of which enjoy a unique first-in-industry position in today’s railway market. ECO4 products can achieve overall energy savings of up to 50 per cent as well as considerable reductions on costs, helping operators to achieve total train performance. Bombardier Transportation Vehicles and Major Products on Display Bombardier Transportation has significantly increased its outdoor and indoor exhibition areas compared to previous years at InnoTrans. The company will be displaying a total of seven vehicles at this year’s fair, two of which, the TALENT 2 regional train and the FLEXITY Berlin tram, will be making their world debuts. TALENT 2 regional train The TALENT 2 represents a new era in regional and suburban rail transport and sets completely new standards in technology, safety, traveling comfort and design. The two- to-six-car electrical units are fully air-conditioned, equipped with modern passenger information displays and can be arranged flexibly and individually on account of their modular construction. With high acceleration and up to two sliding plug doors on each side of the car, the TALENT 2 offers ideal conditions for speedy regional and suburban railway traffic. It will serve as a backbone for the vehicle fleet of the Deutsche Bahn Regio starting autumn 2009. The train is the result of several years of consultation, engineering development and research into customer requirements in close cooperation with Deutsche Bahn Regio as well as end-user groups, to better understand passenger needs. The TALENT 2 will be unveiled by Deutsche Bahn CEO Hartmut Mehdorn and André Navarri, President Bombardier Transportation, on September 23, 2008, the first day of InnoTrans. FLEXITY Berlin light rail vehicle Another world-premiere, the new FLEXITY Berlin tram, represents the highest standards of modern urban transport and is tailored to fulfill all requirements placed on modern public means of transport in urban use. The 100% low-floor vehicles feature wide double doors, level entrances, generous passenger compartments and air-conditioned driver and passenger areas. They can be delivered as a uni- or a bi-directional specification and feature regenerative braking in order to minimize energy consumption. Together with the Berliner Verkehrsbetriebe BVG, Bombardier Transportation based the design on the classic Bauhaus style, thus creating a signature vehicle complementing Berlin’s architecture. The FLEXITY Berlin tram was launched in a roll-out presentation by BVG last Friday (September 19, 2008) and will now be on display at InnoTrans. FLEXITY Frankfurt light rail vehicle As part of an extensive renewal program, Frankfurt am Main has increased its light rail

Bombardier Transportation Launches Innovative ECO4 Technologies for Total Train Performance at InnoTrans 2008 September 22, 2008 — Berlin Transportation Global Rail Industry Leader Presents Breakthrough EcoActive Technologies Delivering up to 50 Per Cent Energy Savings to Maximize Energy, Efficiency, Economy, and Ecology for Rail Operators Bombardier Transportation today launched an innovative portfolio of technologies, products and solutions that maximize energy efficient operation and total train performance for rail operators. The BOMBARDIER ECO4 portfolio, which offers ten product concepts which are ready for use, was presented by Bombardier Transportation during a press conference in Berlin on the occasion of InnoTrans 2008 (23-26 September), the world’s largest rail industry fair. Bombardier Transportation, the global leader in rail technology, will be presenting its extensive product range at InnoTrans under the motto, “The Climate is Right for Trains” and the company fulfills this promise with its breakthrough ECO4 technologies, some of which are first-in-industry. “We are excited about these technologies, as we are leading the way to helping our customers achieve economical sustainable mobility now and in the future,” says Dr Josef Doppelbauer, Chief Technical Officer Bombardier Transportation. “With energy consumption and efficiency being the priorities of our industry, the new ECO4 portfolio can help train operators enhance the reliability and performance of their fleets, while at the same time reducing both their carbon footprint and energy costs.” The ECO4 portfolio comes at a time when rail operators are increasingly challenged by the pressures of volatile energy costs, operating efficiency and global climate change. All ECO4 products are fully operable and can easily be customized to any fleet, creating substantial overall energy savings of up to 50 per cent. “The innovation in the ECO4 modular portfolio of ecoactive technologies rests with its ability to be applied to different frameworks and its capacity for customization to different fleets or trains,” explains Dr Tjark Siefkes, Senior Director Product Development at Bombardier Transportation.” Balancing the four cornerstones of energy, efficiency, economy and ecology into one engineering portfolio makes these technologies truly innovative, creating a new formula for optimal train performance, which we will continue to develop. For us, this is a big leap in applied technology development.” Among the most fascinating ECO4 technologies are five industry firsts unique to Bombardier Transportation, which lead the railway market into the future of sustainable mobility: • The BOMBARDIER EBI Drive 50 Driver Assistance System, the industry’s first integrated solution for customers to help save up to 15 per cent of traction energy by assisting drivers with information on speed and traction force, thus saving up to 30 per cent traction force. • BOMBARDIER EnerGplan Simulation Tool, the only tool on the market which enables operators to simulate and then optimize the energy consumption for complete transport systems, reducing energy use by 20 per cent. • The C.L.E.A.N. Diesel Power Pack, leading the industry by providing the only drive system for Diesel Multiple Units in the 660 kW class already in conformity today with the new EU emission guidelines (stage III-B) to be implemented in 2012. The C.L.E.A.N. system leads to a reduction in particulate emissions of 87 per cent. • BOMBARDIER MITRAC Energy Saver, the leading regenerative braking system for light rail vehicles, which delivers energy savings of up to 30 percent. • BOMBARDIER PRIMOVE Catenary-Free Operation, the world’s first system to enable completely catenary-free operation of trams over distances of varying lengths and in all surroundings including underground lines. Two of these ECO4 products, the MITRAC Permanent Magnet Motor and the EBI Drive 50 Driver Assistance System, have also been in successful operation on Sweden’s “Green Train” between Stockholm and Västerås. This high speed research project is jointly run by the Swedish railway administration Banverket, Bombardier Transportation and other partners. Others, such as the MITRAC Energy Saver, have proven their unsurpassed reliability throughout years of successful testing during regular operations. In detail, the technical highlights of the ECO4 products are: AeroEfficient Train Optimisation: The industry’s first generic design approach for energy- efficient aerodynamic designs can help realize energy savings of up to eight per cent for regional and up to 15 per cent for high speed trains. It reduces the aerodynamic drag by 25 per cent with a new, state-of-the-art process called AeroEfficient Train Optimisation. The process focuses on reducing the traction effort, which is largely lost during typical driving operations due
