EnvironmentalProduct Declaration<strong>FLEXITY</strong> <strong>Outlook</strong>The BOMBARDIER* <strong>FLEXITY</strong>* <strong>Outlook</strong> tram reflects our dedicationto developing products and services for sustainable mobility.


<strong>FLEXITY</strong> <strong>Outlook</strong>Designed for Sustainable MobilityValenciaThe <strong>FLEXITY</strong> <strong>Outlook</strong> tram sets a high standard forenvironmentally sustainable rail transportation. ThisEnvironmental Product Declaration provides a detailedinsight into the environmental impact of the Valencia/Alicante <strong>FLEXITY</strong> <strong>Outlook</strong> tram throughout its completelife cycle.Communicating EnvironmentalPerformance – ISO 14025We communicate the environmental performance of ourproducts through Environmental Product Declarations(<strong>EPD</strong>s) following the international <strong>EPD</strong>® system. Our<strong>EPD</strong>s are developed in line with the UNIFE ProductCategory Rules for Rail Vehicles (PCR 2009:05) as wellas the principles and procedures of ISO 14025:2006.<strong>EPD</strong>s are part of the BOMBARDIER* ECO4* productportfolio. They are based on Life Cycle Assessmentmethodology and function as an externally validatedcommunication tool, providing complete transparency tothe benefit of our customers and other stakeholders.The external validation is carried out by independentverifiers approved by the technical committee of theinternational <strong>EPD</strong>® system and/or the EU Eco-managementand Audit Scheme (EMAS).The Valencia and Alicante configuration of the <strong>FLEXITY</strong><strong>Outlook</strong> tram forms the basis of the specific environmentalinformation of this <strong>EPD</strong>.<strong>FLEXITY</strong> <strong>Outlook</strong> Valencia/Alicante - Highlighted facts and figuresNumber of cars 5Weight (empty)CapacityMax speedEnergy consumption41 230 kg50 seats / 150 standing71 km/h3,7 kWh/kmRecoverability / Recyclability 98% / 92%Alicante2<strong>FLEXITY</strong> <strong>Outlook</strong> – Environmental Product Declaration


Material ContentEnergy EfficiencyThe <strong>FLEXITY</strong> <strong>Outlook</strong> tram is developed with a strongemphasis on our commitment to eliminating hazardoussubstances and related toxic emissions, providing a saferenvironment for our customers, passengers andemployees. The <strong>Bombardier</strong> Controlled Substances listenables product designers to screen out such substancesby identifying them throughout our supply chain andactively working towards eliminating them from our vehicles.Material [kg] Manufacturing Maintenance TotalMetals 33 928 17 054 50 982Polymers 1 614 460 2 073The projected energy consumption of 3,7 kWh/km isbased on a simulation run of the Valencia Linea 4operational profile.

A Life Cycle PerspectiveEnvironmental Profile of the <strong>FLEXITY</strong> <strong>Outlook</strong>Raw material extractionManufacturing/Final assemblyEnd of lifeUseAt <strong>Bombardier</strong> life cycle thinking is integrated to thedesign process, highlighting the significance of differentdesign choices and the true overall environmentalimpact these choices have.Life Cycle AssessmentPower supplyElectric power to Valencia <strong>FLEXITY</strong> <strong>Outlook</strong> tram issourced primarily from hard coal and nuclear energy.The Spanish average power supply mix for 2011 wasused to model the operation phase of the Valencia<strong>FLEXITY</strong> <strong>Outlook</strong> tram life cycle.Resource efficiency, waste generation and overallenvironmental impact are estimated throughout all lifecycle phases of the Valencia <strong>FLEXITY</strong> <strong>Outlook</strong> tram,following ISO 14040:2006 methodology. 3 The study hasbeen carried out in cooperation with the ViennaUniversity of Technology. The results are based on theValencia <strong>FLEXITY</strong> <strong>Outlook</strong> tram in service for 30 years,with an average running distance of 60 000 km per year.All assumptions on vehicle comfort systems load arebased on TecRec 100:001: Specification and verification ofenergy consumption for railway rolling stock, followingthe methodology and operational profiles used for theenergy consumption simulation. The simulated operationalscenario features 50% energy recovery from regenerativebraking. The end of life phase of the life cycle is modeledaccording to technology available today. The potentialbenefit from material recycling and energy recovery isnot included in the environmental impact tables.2Rainer Pamminger, Life Cycle Assessment Report - <strong>FLEXITY</strong> <strong>Outlook</strong>Valencia, Vienna University of Technology, 201112%22%Hard coal6%Heavy fuel oilNatural gasNuclear energy2%20%27%Power supply for the Valencia <strong>FLEXITY</strong> <strong>Outlook</strong> tram resulting inemissions of 593 g of CO 2equivalents per kWh.3%8%Hydro powerWind powerBiomassOthers4<strong>FLEXITY</strong> <strong>Outlook</strong> – Environmental Product Declaration
