1 Bombardier introduces an Innovative Technology to the Transportation Industry. Bombardier AST Program Antimicrobial Surface Treatment

2 Purpose: To introduce AST Treatment Program to the Transportation Industry New technology to the transportation sector that prevents the spread of touch transmitted flu s, viruses and bacteria 2

4 Common Challenges to Global & Local Mobility Impacts on Domestic and International Travel Historically there were two aspects that impacted local & International Travel Economy & Accessibility Safety, sense of security Now there is a new challenge for Transportation around the globe 4

5 Common Challenges to Global Mobility The Rapid Spread of Flu s viruses and bacteria through Transportation corridors Approx 80% of infectious diseases are spread by TOUCH! 5

6 Common Challenges to Global Mobility Viruses and bacteria are mobilized by local and global transportation systems From school bus routes to Municipal Transit systems to international air travel 6

7 Key Issues Seasonal flu s and viruses are quickly mobilized locally and globally along public and private transportation corridors The impact of the real and perceived risk of travel during the flu season reduces the volume of traffic locally, globally and in its worse case harms local economies and industries that rely on airport traffic 7

8 Key Issues Clean Disinfect Then What? When CLEAN isn t clean enough.. 8

9 An Opportunity to Reduce the Risk. Bombardier introduces an innovative program to the Transportation industry that supports the development of healthier and safer transportation systems. The AST program will make transportation systems safer and healthier for passengers and employees by preventing and reducing the spread of germs (bacteria, viruses and molds). PROTECT YOUR PASSENGERS 9

10 What is AST? AST : Antimicrobial Surface Treatment Effective against a wide range of Influenza Virus A group, including H1N1, SARS, bird flu, as well as common cold and flu viruses A proven treatment in use for 30 years in numerous applications, including hospitals, schools and professional sports organizations Approved 14 years ago by Health Canada. Also approved by Canadian Food Inspection Agency, Pest Management Regulatory Agency, US EPA, US FPA 10

11 What is AST? AST : Antimicrobial Surface Treatment Eco-friendly and safe for people and the environment. Colorless, odorless, efficient and effective: AST Treatment once a year; neutralizes 99% of microbes on contact The shield protects 100% of the interior surfaces of Transit vehicles, thus protecting the customer s new assets as well as existing fleets. Reducing microbial population on surfaces healthier and safer environment for passengers and workers 11

12 How does AST work? AST treatment forms a positively charged polymer that molecularly bonds to the treated surface > creating a permanent bond When a microbe comes into contact with the treated surface, AST reacts to the microbe and neutralizes it. The treatment does not breakdown, AST doesn t lose it s strength, so it s ready for the next microbe 12

13 The Bombardier AST Program: Antimicrobial Surface Treatment Safeguarding interior surfaces from Staining Odors Deterioration Bombardiers treatment lengthens the useful life of materials that could be lost to staining and deterioration from microbial contamination Cost savings in materials from premature replacement of components 13

14 AST Effectiveness 14

15 AST Proven Technology AST is powered by ÆGIS Microbe Shield Technology, first developed in 1970s by Dow Corning for use on medical textiles. Applications expanded to hospitals, government buildings, walls, ceilings, upholstery, sports equipment and facilities, and more AST is not a chemical or disinfectant. It is an antimicrobial that destroys germs including many Influenza A group viruses, bacteria, algae, mould and yeast After the AST treatment has been applied; surfaces only require a soap and water solution to be cleaned, reducing the need for authorities to use harsh chemical cleaners, disinfectants and the associated impact on the Environment. AST is the only antimicrobial treatment of its kind approved for use in Canada 1 5

16 AST Proven Technology AST Health and Safety Safe for people and for the environment. Permanently bonds to the surface to which it is applied. It becomes part of the surface it protects and does not leach or transfer from the surface to hands or clothing. AST is worn down over time in high-touch areas, as the surface itself is worn down, and requires annual re-treatment. 16
