Montréal, Québec, Switzerland, Jan 21, 2008 - (Hugin via ABN Newswire) - Second Order for BOMBARDIER Next Generation "Green Trains"

BERLIN, GERMANY--(Marketwire - January 21, 2008) - Bombardier Transportation has won a second order for its next generation "Green Trains". The contract, worth approximately 44 million euros ($65 million US), is an order for twelve 2-car BOMBARDIER next generation diesel multiple units from Angel Trains. The trains are being provided for London Overground Rail Operations Limited (LOROL) for use on the London Overground network and for Chiltern Railways. The units will be delivered between Q4 2009 and with the final delivery in Q3 2010.

Commenting on the order, President of Bombardier's Mainline & Metros Division, Stephane Rambaud-Measson, said: "I am delighted that Bombardier has won another important contract for our next generation DMU Class 172 vehicle. This is the second order for this new train and further extends our relationship with Angel Trains. This vehicle will be the lightest and greenest modern DMU in its class and will provide low risk step changes in technology, providing the financiers and operator with a vehicle which meets the latest legislation in emissions, improves the passenger experience and which is able to optimize operating costs."

Production of the new Class 172 will take place in Bombardier's Derby plant. The units will feature the renowned, sophisticated BOMBARDIER MITRAC system, offering proven reliability and energy efficiency and offering applications to secure safe and economically optimized traction power.

Colin Walton, Chairman of Bombardier in the UK, added: "Following so closely after our first order for the next generation "Green Trains", this provides confirmation that this is the product of choice for operators replacing older multiple units."
