ALSTOM will supply URBALIS 200 signaling and control
solution for line 2 of the Taegu metro

The equipment will be installed on trains for Line 2 of the
metro of the South Korean city of Taegu.

With this contract, ALSTOM is responsible for the supply of
the entire URBALIS 200 signaling and control system for the new
metro line, currently under construction. In January 2003, HIT
awarded ALSTOM a contract worth about 16.5 million for the
trackside signaling and control systems.

HIT is the main contractor for the project.

This contract reinforces the worldwide success of URBALIS,
in Asia in particular, where ALSTOM recently won a contract to
supply the signaling and control systems for an extension of the
Shanghai metro's Line 3. The contract is worth about 14
million.

These URBALIS 200 offers covers SMATRLOCK, the interlocking
system, MASTRIA, the automatic train control and SMARTWAY
signaling products.

With more than 35 product lines and a presence in more than
60 countries, ALSTOM's Transport sector offers cutting-edge
products and services for new rolling stock, signaling, and
electrical and mechanical infrastructure as well as maintenance
and rehabilitation services to four distinct types of customers:

intercity railway infrastructure owners. ALSTOM's Transport
sector, with sales of 5.1 billion in financial year
2002-2003, is among the world's leading suppliers to the railway
