A lightweight AC prototype was developed between GE and Adtranz, with first units scheduled for Pakistan. A new joint venture facility in Indonesia produced units for Indonesia and the Philippines. First shipments to Kazakstan, Egypt and Mongolia also stretched our global reach. Rail privatization projects offer significant opportunities for 1997. Success in these initiatives is enhanced by our Six Sigma quality efforts, which also bring productivity directly to customers.
Service is our largest growth area.
Orders grew significantly in 1996 and should increase threefold through 1997.
