                       NEW COMMUTER TRAINS AND TRAMS WORTH
                   168 MILLION FOR PARIS TRANSPORT AUTHORITY



RATP, Paris's mass transit authority,  has awarded ALSTOM two new orders for the
supply of  double-decker  commuter  trains and CITADIS  tramways,  worth a total
of 168 million.

The first order, worth 147 million,  is for the supply of 14 trains composed of
five  double-decker  cars. The trains,  for the Paris RER commuter A line,  will
offer  increased  passenger  comfort and allow the RATP to respond to increasing
passenger traffic on the line.  Bombardier will also contribute to this order as
supplier of the end cars; their share of the order is approximately 30 percent.

The new trains  will enter into  commercial  operation  in June 2004.  The order
brings the total number of double-deck commuter cars sold to RATP to 215.

The second order, worth 21 million,  is for the supply of 13 CITADIS trams. The
order  constitutes  the  second  phase of a project  to  improve  the  passenger
transport  offer on the T2 tramway line (La  Défense-Issy  Val de Seine),  which
will be extended.

Delivery and entry into  commercial  operation  of the trams is  scheduled  from
January to September 2004. The CITADIS trams from the first phase of the project
entered into commercial service on 1st December 2002.

`13 January 2003


                          ALSTOM IS AWARDED TWO ORDERS
                         TOTALIZING 110 MILLION IN THE
                          HIGH ADDED VALUE SHIPS MARKET


ALSTOM,  through its subsidiary ALSTOM Leroux Naval, recently secured two orders
worth a total of approximately 110 million.

ALSTOM has signed a first  contract  with the French  Ifremer  Institute for the
construction of an  oceanographic  ship named "Pourquoi Pas ?", which is due for
delivery at the  beginning  of 2005.  Equipped to sail in all seas,  she will be
fitted to achieve any mission in the fields of deep-sea,  coastal  oceanographic
and  hydrographic  research.  This 105 metre  vessel will be capable of carrying
Ifremer's large scale equipment,  such as the manned  submersible  Nautile,  the
remotely  controlled  submersible  Victor  6000,  or new  launches of the French
Navy's Hydrographic and Oceanographic Department (SHOM). This civilian ship will
be used 200 days per year by Ifremer and 150 days by the French Navy.

In  addition,  ALSTOM has entered  the  mega-yacht  market,  with the award of a
contract for the construction of a luxury ship, more than 70 metres in length.

These two ships will be built in the ALSTOM  Leroux  Naval  shipyard  in Lorient
(Brittany).

These two orders will allow  ALSTOM's  Marine  Sector to continue to grow in the
high added-value ships market,  where it already holds leading positions (cruise
ships, standard and high speed ferries, naval vessels, specialised ships and LNG
carriers).
