Deutsche Bahn deploys 48 additional flexible vehicle system trains starting
December 2011

BERLIN, GERMANY--(Marketwire - February 8, 2010) - Bombardier Transportation
will supply another 48 TALENT 2 trains to Deutsche Bahn (DB) AG. This recent
order amounts to approximately 200 million euros ($272 million US) and has
brought the number of TALENT 2 vehicles ordered by DB up to 176.

The new trains will run on Berlin-Brandenburg's transport network
(Verkehrsverbund Berlin-Brandenburg - VBB). They will be operated by DB Regio,
which will cover a large part of VBB's transport network using the TALENT 2
trains as of December 2011.

Dr. Klaus Baur, Chairman of the Managing Board of Bombardier Transportation
Germany, said: "We are very proud that the TALENT 2 will also contribute to the
transportation concept for the capital's new international airport. DB Regio has
now ordered 176 trains for service in eight federal states from the framework
contract. This shows how well this vehicle system can be adapted to different
requirements."

The vehicles for VBB will operate on the routes Magdeburg - Brandenburg - Berlin
- Frankfurt/Oder - Eisenhuttenstadt - Cottbus and Dessau - Belzig - Berlin -
Wunsdorf-Waldstadt and later Senftenberg. On the route RE 9 the TALENT 2 trains
will also be servicing the capital's new airport, Berlin Brandenburg
International.

The fleet consists of 26 three-car and 22 five-car vehicles. They will be
delivered between 2011 and 2012. As station platforms within the VBB-network
vary, 2 three-car trains and 19 five-car trains will have an entry platform
height of 600 mm. The remaining trains will have an entry platform height of
800 mm.

Back in February 2007, Deutsche Bahn AG and Bombardier Transportation had signed
a framework agreement to supply up to 321 vehicles. The previous seven call-offs
comprising 128 electrical multiple units are intended to be used:

- for the Nuremberg suburban rail network

- on the Moseltalbahn between Koblenz and Trier/Perl

- on the Cottbus-Leipzig route

- for the Rhein-Sieg-Express between Aachen and Siegen

- on the Franconia electrical network (E-Netz) between Nuremberg, Bamberg and
Wurzburg as well as between the cities of Sonneberg, Saalfeld and Jena in South
Thuringia

- for the Central Hesse Express on the lines between Frankfurt/Main - Giessen -
Treysa/Dillenburg as well as between Hanau - Frankfurt - Giessen

- on the Saxonia line between Dresden, Riesa and Leipzig.

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 offer an almost unlimited level of flexibility in
terms of configuration, along with cost-effectiveness and cost transparency. The
innovative, modular construction principle allows for countless variants of 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 the train particularly energy-efficient and easily
adaptable to the frequent acceleration and braking phases in the commuter
sector, as well as to the demands of the regional rail network.
