Alstom awarded two orders worth a total of 270 million
euros

The SNCF has placed an order with Alstom for the supply of
51 new double-deck Coradia Duplex distributed-power regional
trains: 39 triple-car trainsets and 12 four-car trainsets,
making a total of 165 coaches. Under an industrial workshare
agreement with Alstom, Bombardier will participate in the
manufacture of 63 of the cars.



The order forms part of the multi-year investment programme
launched in September 2000 and financed by French regions, to
renew the TER (Regional Express Trains) fleet. The 51 trainsets
will be shared between the regions of Nord Pas-de-Calais,
Rhône-Alpes, Provence-Côte dAzur and Picardy.
The Alstom sites of Valenciennes, Tarbes, Villeurbanne, Le
Creusot and Ornans, in France, and also the Charleroi site in
Belgium, will take part in fulfilment of the contract.



In respect of freight, the private operator Veolia Cargo has
exercised an option to acquire 10 Prima electric locomotives,
with associated maintenance for a period of 8 years.



These options, which form part of the contract signed on 3
October 2005, brings to 17 the number of locomotives acquired
by Veolia Cargo. In January 2007, Veolia Cargo took delivery of
4 locomotives. Three others are currently in production and
will be delivered between now and July 2007. The 10 new
locomotives will be delivered between February and October
2008.



The new locomotives will be able to operate throughout France
and Germany, thanks to their tri-current power supply system.
Links between the two countries have been operated using
similar trains since the autumn of 2006.



They will be constructed on the Belfort site, which will
assemble equipment supplied by the sites of Omans, Tarbes,
Villeurbanne and Le Creusot in France and the site at Charleroi
in Belgium.
