                       METRO INFRASTRUCTURE CONTRACT IN TAIWAN


The Department of Rapid Transit Systems (DORTS) of Taipei City, Taiwan, has just 
declared the ALSTOM-led consortium "awarded bidder" for the Orange and Blue line 
extensions of the capital's metro system.

Once the order is confirmed, ALSTOM's share of this Euro360 million contract is 
expected to be worth approximately Euro125 million.

ALSTOM will be responsible for project management, system integration, the 
signaling and half of the track work and maintenance depot equipment. The 
signaling equipment will be similar to the equipment already supplied by ALSTOM 
and in service on the Taipei network.

ALSTOM's partner in this consortium is China Technical Consultant Inc., CTCI.
