Additional contract validates Bombardier's new manufacturing site as a key
factor in developing the Indian railway industry to world-class standards

BERLIN, GERMANY--(Marketwire - June 30, 2010) - Bombardier Transportation
announced today that it has won an order for 74 BOMBARDIER MOVIA metro cars from
the Delhi Metro Rail Corporation Ltd (DMRC). The contract is valued at
approximately 83 million euros ($101 million US) and includes an option of a
further 40 cars. Delivery will follow the completion of existing contracts and
is expected to end in 2011. With the contract award DMRC will be operating a
large fleet of 498 MOVIA metro cars, benefiting from economies of scale in both
acquisition and maintenance costs.

The new achievement is a further milestone for Bombardier's railway vehicle
manufacturing operations in India, part of a sound and swiftly implemented
business expansion plan. The company signed its first contract with DMRC in July
2007, inaugurated its manufacturing plant in Savli, Gujarat in November 2008 and
completed the local manufacturing of its first metro car in June 2009. Today
over 160 of these MOVIA cars are successfully operating in Delhi's metro
network.

Stephane Rambaud-Measson, President, Passengers Division, Bombardier
Transportation, declared: "We are delighted to receive this additional order
from Delhi Metro. It is an excellent endorsement of our increasing industrial
presence in India, which is growing from strength to strength."

The recent industrial set-up at Savli, where MOVIA metro cars for DMRC are
manufactured, is a landmark achievement by any standard. The site was built in a
record 18 months involving a great deal of skill and co-operation from
Bombardier teams in India and abroad. Providing a further impetus to the local
economy and a testament to India's vast skills base, the site generated 750 new
jobs and over 2,000 indirect jobs through the local supplier network.

Rajeev Jyoti, President & Managing Director, Bombardier Transportation in India,
said: "India's railway industry is expanding at great speed to keep up with the
infrastructural requirements of the country. Having anticipated this growth,
Bombardier in India is more than ready and willing to match the industry's needs
in terms of products, technology and our international expertise. Making
Vadodara the only city in the world equipped to deliver all key electrical and
mechanical components for the manufacturing of a railway vehicle is a clear
demonstration of Bombardier's local capacity and commitment."

In the phase II expansion of the Delhi Metro, the modern MOVIA high-capacity
vehicles will transport an impressive 4 million passengers every day, reducing
their journey time and alleviating the heavy traffic congestion and pollution
prevalent in the city. The phase II expansion extends the existing network to a
total of 125 kilometres covering all major destinations in the East-West and
North-South corridors of the city, which is occupied by approximately 16 million
inhabitants.
