The report highlights the engagement of our employees, customers and suppliers
in achieving a carbon-neutral manufacturing footprint

BERLIN, GERMANY--(Marketwire - May 12, 2011) - As a global leader in rail
technology, Bombardier Transportation continues to shape the future of mobility.
With the publication of its fourth bi-annual Sustainability Report, the company
showcases its 2009/2010 sustainability achievements and sets a standard for the
industry.

Bombardier Transportation's operations reduced its environmental footprint
during the year by 13% for water consumption, 7% for greenhouse gas emissions
and 5% for energy consumption. This builds on a successful past six years that
have seen the environmental footprint shrink by approximately one third in terms
of water consumption (37%), greenhouse gas emissions (32%) and energy
consumption (31%). Bombardier Transportation has also stabilised its accident
frequency to a world class level with only 0.4 lost-time accidents per 200,000
hours worked.

To shape the future of mobility, Bombardier Transportation invested an
unprecedented $147 million US (111 million euro) in research and development
towards product innovation. It was also the first company in the rail industry
to involve internet users in the future design of trains with its popular
contest "YouRail - Visions of Modern Transportation".

"Last year, we launched what is arguably the most exciting example of how our
approach contributes to sustainability: the BOMBARDIER ZEFIRO 380 very high
speed train," said Andre Navarri, President and COO, Bombardier Transportation.
"This newest member of our ZEFIRO family will set new standards in all-round
environmental and operating performance, passenger comfort and sustainable
mobility. It is just one of the reasons we continue to say: The Climate is Right
for Trains."

In preparing this report, Bombardier Transportation applied the Global Reporting
Initiative Sustainability Reporting Guidelines (GRI G3). GRI is a multi-
stakeholder governed institution that provides global standards in
sustainability reporting and is a collaborating centre of the United Nations
Environment Programme.

"As you can read in the report, our efforts and achievements continue to trend
in a positive direction. Despite a significant increase in business volume,
Bombardier Transportation reduced energy usage, water usage, emitted less
greenhouse gases and produced less waste. We have set a new target of achieving
a carbon-neutral manufacturing footprint by 2020," Mr Navarri concluded.

The Bombardier Transportation Sustainability report is one component of the
overall commitment to Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) defined by
Bombardier Inc. More information on CSR at Bombardier as well as a pdf version
