Environmental Product Declaration

TheBOMBARDIER* MITRAC*TC 3300 portfolio is the

world-leading family of traction converters based on

industry standard IGBT technology. The high

performance paired with high energy efficiency and

integrated power management functions makes the

MITRACTC 3300 traction converters the right choice

for environmentally sustainable locomotives and high

speed power heads. Bombardier has sold more than

6,400 high powerMITRACTC 3300 traction converters.

The newest members of the family, the MITRACTC 3300

IGBT traction converters, are based on a unique concept

guaranteeing maximum commonality and flexibility: one

basic design can be adapted for a wide range of different

applications to fit individual needs.

The equipment is robust, easy to maintain, designed to

withstand extreme environments, and includes a drive

control system with high-performance adhesion control.

It covers all types of locomotive and high speed power

head applications, from AC and DC to multi-system

solutions for cross-border operation and diesel-electric and

dual-power (supporting both electric and diesel operation)

locomotives to extend coverage into non-electrified areas.

The benefits for our customers are propulsion and control

systems that meet current and future requirements in an

economic and environmentally sustainable manner,

delivering maximum performance and reliability.

Environmental profile - Results from LCA

The functional unit is: one MITRACTC 3300 MS V04 on

the BOMBARDIER* TRAXX*F140 MS locomotive in

service for 30 years, with an average running distance

of 150 000 km per year.

System boundaries

This EPD refers to the MITRACTC 3300 MS V04 produced

in Bombardiers production facility in Mannheim, Germany,

and is based on the results from a Life-Cycle Assessment

Manufacturing, Use and End-of-life activities

The table below shows the materials used for the production

and maintenance of one MITRACTC 3300 MS V04

summarized into overall material groups. The recyclability

calculations are based on existing recycling processes that

are commercially available and technically possible today.

The reuse of materials as well as energy recovery during

end-of-life activities are also included in the recyclability

rate which is estimated to be 99%for one MITRACTC

3300 MS V04.

(LCA) study2performed according to ISO 14040:2006.

The LCA covers the environmental aspects for the

extraction and production of raw materials used for

production and maintenance as well as transportation of

major parts to the assembly plant. Further on it includes

the electric energy (8 231 kWh) and water (6.8 m3)

consumption for the final assembly as well as end-of-life

activities. The energy consumption during the use phase

for one MITRACTC 3300 MS V04 is calculated to be 3.1

GWh.

Resource utilization

The following tables describe the utilization of materials and

primary energy resources from a life-cycle perspective. They

include the cradle to grave data for the production of

materials and electricity for one MITRACTC 3300 MS V04.

TheManufacturing phase covers the raw materials and

primary energy needed for their production. It also

includes the energy and water consumed for the final

assembly.

TheUse phase covers the production of maintenance

materials as well as energy used in operation.

TheEnd-of-life phase covers recycling, energy recovery

and disposal of the different materials. The negative

values are due to avoided virgin materials or energy

production from conventional sources.

Waste generation

The table below shows the waste generated during thedifferent activities throughout the entire life-cycle of the

MITRACTC 3300 MS V04. It is divided into hazardous,

non-hazardous, radioactive and inert waste. Those are

generated during raw material extraction, primary material

and energy production.

The main constituents of the Hazardous wastefraction

are residues from metal ore mining and processing.

The Non-hazardous wastefraction comprises mainly

slag and other residues from metal production. Radioactive wastearises from mining of uranium and

plutonium and partially from the depleted nuclear fuel

used for electricity production.

The Inert wastefraction is the biggest and consists of

tailings and other by-products of raw material extraction

processes.
