Introduction

Light Rail Vehicles Increased use of public transport significantly improves the quality of life in cities that are chronically overburdened by traffic. Today, leaving the car at home no longer means putting up with inconvenience and loss of mobility. Bombardier’s portfolio of trams and light rail vehicles allows for attractive transport solutions while offering modern city dwellers the highest level of comfort.

Why Rail-Bound Public Transport?

Advantages of rail-bound transport solutions •

Reduction of individual car traffic - Reduction of traffic volume - Reduction of pollution and noise exposure - Reduction of costs for repair and maintenance of roads

•

Increase of mobility - Attractiveness through quick connections - Environmentally friendly transportation (effects on tourism, urban development,…)

- Extension and interconnection of inner-city transport with overland traffic

Bombardier FLEXITY Outlook 100% low-floor trams offering level interiors Operation mainly in historically grown tram-networks with narrow curve radii Modular design and use of proven standardised components give flexibility to fulfil unique requirements of cities Well-known for their innovative technology and awardwinning industrial design

16

Bombardier FLEXITY Outlook – 100 % Low-Floor with Conventional Wheel-Set Bogies A groundbreaking innovation by Bombardier is the combination of a 100 % low-floor interior and conventional wheel-set bogies, taking advantage of two seemingly contradicting technologies Benefits of this innovative technology: increased passenger comfort and operating efficiency • easy access, especially for passengers in wheelchairs or with prams • conventional wheel-set bogies offer high running stability, noise reduction, less wear of the wheel • reduction of maintenance intervals •

17

Bombardier FLEXITY Outlook - Safety Active Safety: -

unrestricted view for the driver highly-developed braking management for quick and effective stopping all safety-relevant parts are additionally hard-wired

Passive Safety: - underframe made from corrosion-resistant steel - optimum protection for passengers in case of a side-impact - maximum safety for driver, passengers and collision partners: 1) Soft vehicle front nose (PUR) 2) Energy absorbing elements (Damper) 3) Steel-tube design resists impact of up to 40 t

(in case of vandalism, technical defects)

in emergencies (security violations, first aid, fire…)

Bombardier‘s Passenger Infotainment System shows: - information on stops and connections - news - advertisement on high-quality displays inside the vehicle 24

Optimising the fleet and reducing operational costs – Dresden awarded Bombardier to develop the longest tram in Europe.

Tram network: 131.3² km, 12 lines Number of passengers: 94 million/year In order to renew its fleet, DVB has ordered 32 Bombardier FLEXITY Classic vehicles (with 45 m the longest tram in Europe) since December 2000, operation commenced in early summer 2003. For fewer passenger volumes DVB ordered 20 shorter vehicles (30 m length) which will be delivered from 2006 onwards.

Special features of the tram system: •

Steady increase in passenger volume on lines crossing the city centre

•

Special topographical requirements of the DVB network with a gradient of up to 7.69 %.

•

Continuous extension of the tram network

Connecting down-town and suburbs – a new bi-modal system created by Saarbahn and Bombardier Tram-Train fleet: 28 Bombardier FLEXITY Link dual-system vehicles Tram-Train network: 25 km, 1 line: from Riegelsberg on the outskirts of Saarbrücken through the city centre to Sarreguemines in France Number of passengers: 40,000/day* Operation of the FLEXITY Link vehicles commenced in 1997 Special features of the Saarbrücken tram-train system: •

An increased volume in commuters traveling from the outskirts to and through the city centre called for the implementation of a modern transportation system operating both on inner-city tram- and heavy rail lines

•

Extension of the line to the North of the city under construction, resulting in a total length of 45 km – by combining existing infrastructure with newly built tracks
