Deutsche Bahn orders a further 51 trains of the flexible vehicle system for
service on the "Mitteldeutsche S-Bahn" railway network (Central German suburban
network)

BERLIN, GERMANY--(Marketwire - November 19, 2010) - Bombardier Transportation
will supply another 51 BOMBARDIER TALENT 2 trains to Deutsche Bahn AG (DB AG).
The order value amounts to approximately 200 million euro ($271 million US).

36 new three-car and 15 four-car TALENT 2 suburban trains will enter service
beginning December 2013 in and around Leipzig on the "Mitteldeutsche S-Bahn"
network.

The trains are comfortably-equipped with air-conditioning, sliding steps at each
entry and spacious multi-purpose areas with wheelchair, pram and bicycle access.
Seating is generously spaced, not just for first class passengers, and therefore
meets regional as well as suburban travel needs. For families with children
there are specially-designed seating areas. The trains are also equipped with
toilets for disabled passengers. The passenger compartments have integrated
monitors that display current travel information. Passenger safety is enhanced
through video monitoring and implementation of the latest crash requirements.

Paintwork specially designed for the "Mitteldeutsche S-Bahn" network gives these
TALENT 2 trains a completely different appearance to others.

The new order brings the total number of TALENT 2 trains ordered by Deutsche
Bahn to 287. At the end of August, DB AG ordered twenty-three five-car trains
for service on the Warnow network in Mecklenburg-Vorpommern, and a total of
thirty-seven (34 four-car and three two-car) trains for the Werdenfels railway
in Bavaria.

A major feature of the recently developed TALENT 2 Electrical Multiple Unit
platform (the 442 series) is its modular concept which includes a high degree of
standardisation. The trains can be configured with almost unlimited flexibility
and are both cost effective and cost transparent at the same time. The
innovative, modular construction principle allows for countless variants on the
same train type. The two- to six-car trains can be equipped with a wide variety
of technical modules, depending on whether they are to be used as commuter or
regional express trains.

A scalable traction output provided by the BOMBARDIER MITRAC propulsion and
control system makes these trains particularly energy efficient and easily
adaptable to the frequent acceleration and braking requirements in the commuter
sector, as well as to the demands of the regional rail network.
