Overview

Ansaldo STS is characterized by its long-term operational history and its technological excellence (the Company was set upin Italy and the USA at the mid 1800's, in France at the beginning of 1900's, and invests heavily in R&D activities). It has anextremely high international presence (the group is locally present in 27 countries), and has reached primary positions in itsmarkets of interest (in signalling, for instance, the company has supplied more than half of the high-speed railways in the

world excluding Japan). It has special experience in innovative transport solutions projects such as the automatic metro inCopenhagen, the first driverless and unmanned steel-wheel underground system in the world.

Building on its existing product portfolio, and on its strength in innovation , the Company is building its strength in further geographical areas and is consolidating its leadership in those sectors where Ansaldo STS has greatest market presence.

In a context of growing international competition and increasing complexity and size of railway and transit projects globally, Ansaldo STS can also act as General Contractor or Lead Contractor providing project management and technological

integration of systems, and facilitating project financing for clients worldwide.

As General / Lead Contractor, Ansaldo STS provides end to end solutions for timely, successful and on budget turnkeyprojects of any size or complexity, offering:

Project Financing

Build, Operate and Transfer (BOT)

Design, Build, Operate and Maintain (DBOM) Systems integration of complete electrical and mechanical scope

Track works

Traction electrification

To achieve this successfully, the company is organized in two business units:

Transport Solutions Business Unit and the Signalling Business Unit .

The Transport Solutions Business Unit operates in the design, installation, integration, testing, commissioning and

maintenance of ³turnkey´ railway and transit systems. It aims to consolidate its Italian leadership and to increase its

European market share by taking advantage of the competencies developed in the segment of Metro Systems.

Signalling is designed to ensure safety and reliability of railway and metro transportation, as well as to optimize the

efficiency and productivity of these infrastructures allowing operators to increase the speed and efficiency of railwaytransport in compliance with safety regulations, and to reduce the minimum distance between trains (headways).

The strategic objective in terms of signalling is to strengthen the areas where the company is already present and topenetrate new markets, in particular increasing its participation in the Asian / Pacific area, China and India, the two latter being the countries investing the most in mass transit infrastructures today. In Western Europe, one of the main targets is tostrengthen the presence in some of those countries offering significant rail and transit opportunities.

Ansaldo STS focuses on a development strategy which promotes synergies between the company's twobusiness units.

The Transport Solutions Business Unit can utilize the strong international distribution of Signalling to access new markets,mainly in the automatic metro segment. As a consequence, the Signalling Unit can increase its product sales due to new joint offers with the Transport Solutions Unit.

Ansaldo STS has adopted ERTMS (European Rail Traffic Management System) technology, the new interoperableEuropean signalling system which allows trains to travel through differing railway networks without changing engine/driversor rolling stock at the borders for reasons of signalling incompatibility. At the same time, the safety, management andefficiency of traffic are improved. ERTMS represents the future of railway signalling systems and Ansaldo STS is worldleader in both of its applications: level 1 & level 2.

Ansaldo STS has also developed a CBTC (Communications Based Traffic Control) technology compliant with emergentinternational metro/underground standards. This development supports full interoperability on metro lines to provide Metrooperators with the kind of commercial and operational benefits already being delivered on national networks by ERTMS.



HR Vision

Today, Ansaldo STS has over 4,200 employees, of which more than 50% are graduates, distributed in 28 countries. The

quality of our human resource represents a strength at all levels. The employees engaged in the design and engineering

sectors are highly-qualified and are constantly committed to the development of new products, technologies, and solutions.

Ansaldo STS has always adopted a policy of close attention to its employees and annually invests approximately ¼ 1.1 M in

training activities. Ansaldo STS regularly verifies the levels of the managerial and technological competencies of the people

employed through special evaluations, by paying constant attention to the development of training and updating programs.

The business culture focuses on team work and the need for results. We emphasise the personal commitment needed to

collaboration, trust and respect for the individual. Underpinning such results lies a harmonized combination, between human

resources and "Business Improvement", in which the company has invested for many years.

Finally, Ansaldo STS encourages and rewards product and process innovation through special programs such as business

awards supporting our intellectual property rights growth.

High Speed

Ansaldo STS pioneered the High Speed Railway Transportation era by commissioning the very first High Speed Signalling System (TVfirst LGV line in revenue service in 1981 in France (LGV Paris - Lyon). More recently, Ansaldo STS set another landmark putting into s

High Speed line running on an ERTMS level 2 signalling system in 2005 (AV Rome - Naples) in Italy.

These milestones confirm two facts: Ansaldo STS is present today in over 50% of all High Speed lines built around world (Japan excluremains unquestioned leader in ERTMS level 2, the most advance railway control system to date.

Recent achievements further consolidate Ansaldo STS leadership in the High Speed line market segment:

First section of the East E uropean High Speed Line (Paris - Strasbourg) inaugurated in June 2007. This line provides the linkFrance and Germany, the largest railway networks in Europe. Ansaldo STS supplied a dual High Speed Signalling system conew ERTMS level 2 with its cutting-edge TVM 430 (deployed all along the T GV network). This solution, the so-called Bi-Stanin the railway industry and is only offered by Ansaldo STS

C hannel T unnel Rail Link High Speed connection (CTRL), now known as HS 1, completed and inaugurated in November 20430 signalling system provided by Ansaldo STS now places Paris and London closer than ever before, linking Gare du NordPancras station in slightly more than 2 hours via the Channel Tunnel.
