                ALSTOM WINS A 127 M CONTRACT TO OVERHAUL ATLANTA
                               METRO ROLLING STOCK


The Board of the  Metropolitan  Atlanta  Rapid  Transit  Authority  (MARTA)  has
awarded ALSTOM a contract valued at USD 127 million  (approximately  127 million
euros) to overhaul 120 cars of its  existing  rapid  transit  fleet of 248 cars.
These cars were built between 1985 and 1988, and their refurbishment will extend
their operating life by 15 to 20 years. The contract also includes an option for
ALSTOM to overhaul  up to 118  additional  cars for a contract  value of USD 139
million (approximately 139 million euros) if exercised by MARTA. The cars of the
option were built between 1979 and 1981 by ALSTOM.

Work will be carried out at ALSTOM's facilities in Hornell, New York. Deliveries
are  scheduled  to begin at the end of 2004,  at the rate of up to eight  cars a
month.

Michel Moreau,  President of ALSTOM's Transport Sector, said: "This new contract
reinforces  ALSTOM's position as the number one  re-manufacturer of rail transit
cars  in the  US ; the  company  is  currently  carrying  out  several  overhaul
contracts, in particular for the Washington Metropolitan Transit Authority,  for
New Jersey Transit and for the Maryland Mass Transit Administration".

MARTA is the ninth largest  transit system in North  America,  and transports an
average of over half a million passengers a day.

ALSTOM was recently  awarded  several major  contracts in the USA.  Particularly
notable are: a contract  worth 980 million euros for the design and  manufacture
of 660 new heavy rail subway cars for New York City Transit,  and a contract for
62 heavy rail  subway cars for the  Washington  Metropolitan  Transit  Authority
worth 137 million  euros.  The  Company has also been  awarded in November a 430
million euro  contract for the  maintenance  of 434 freight  locomotives  by the
Burlington Northern & Santa Fe Railway Company (BNSF).

                 ALSTOM TO SUPPLY TRAINS WORTH 290 MILLION FOR
                       AUTOMATIC METRO LINE IN BARCELONA

Barcelona's  Metropolitan  Transport  Authority  (ATM) has awarded an ALSTOM-led
consortium  an order  worth 290  million  euros for the  supply of 250 new metro
cars,  which will operate on the future,  fully  automatic  Line 9 of the city's
metro.  The line,  41.3  kilometres  long with 43 stations,  will be the longest
metro line in Barcelona,  linking  municipalities in the north with those in the
south and the airport.

ALSTOM will design, build, test and service the driverless  MetropolisTM trains;
the  company's  share in the order is 86 percent.  Ansaldobreda  will supply the
bogies and auxiliary converters.

ALSTOM  will  supply a total of 50  trainsets,  comprising  5 cars  each.  First
deliveries are scheduled for October 2004 and should be completed by April 2007.
The metro is expected to carry 90 million travellers per year.

The design,  manufacture  and tests will be carried  out in  ALSTOM's  Barcelona
facilities,  with the traction system coming from ALSTOM  facilities in Preston,
UK, and electronic  devices and traction motors from  Villeurbanne and Tarbes in
France.

The order is the fourth ALSTOM  reference  for automatic  metros and follows the
recently  awarded  contract  for a driverless  metro in  Lausanne,  Switzerland.
ALSTOM is also  supplying  trains for two  automatic  metro lines in  Singapore,
including the Circle Line,  which will be the world's longest  driverless  metro
line.  In  addition,  in July,  ATM  awarded the  Trammet  Consortium  a turnkey
contract  for  Barcelona's  Tram Line 2, with  ALSTOM as supplier of the rolling
stock.
