Telvent to Implement the Control Systems for Train Line Modernization in Sao Paulo

MADRID, Spain, June 30, 2009 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Telvent (Nasdaq:TLVT), the IT
company for a sustainable and secure world, announced today that the company has
been selected by the Companhia Paulista de Trens Metropolitanos (CPTM) of Sao
Paulo to modernize the power supply control systems for the Brazilian urban
train lines. The project, valued at 24.5 million euros, is intended to
contribute to the government's objective of doubling the present total of 1.6
million daily users to up to 3 million by 2014.

Over the course of two and a half years, Telvent will deploy a series of
specialized systems and services that will supply electrical power to 260
kilometres of six CPTM lines, fulfilling the specified free-market energy
requirements. CPTM will have the capacity to adapt to estimated and contracted
power demand for these lines and ensure increased reliability and speed during
the operation and control of electrical urban trains systems. In addition to
having a positive impact in terms of enhanced service for metropolitan
transportation users, this will also assure compliance with current occupational
safety regulations for the benefit of transportation system operators.

CPTM has made a significant commitment towards public transportation as the
sustainable alternative, now and in the future, in a city like Sao Paulo, which
has the highest population and therefore the greatest impact on the Brazilian
economy. "It is highly gratifying for us to participate in projects of this
magnitude, projects which not only offer viable solutions for citizens, but also
promote public transportation and energy management thereof as a sustainable
alternative for major cities," stated Manuel Sanchez, Telvent Chairman and Chief
Executive Officer.

The system to be implemented and commissioned into operation by Telvent will be
managed using remote control from the Bras supervisory control center in Sao
Paulo, and is based on Telvent OASyS technology, the SCADA system for real-time
data acquisition and control. This centralized management and control will
optimize all urban trains systems and equipment operation in addition to enhance
security and facilitate real-time critical infrastructure related
decision-making.

Telvent reinforces its position as the reference for basis city infrastructure
projects in transportation and energy which are the backbone of any economy,
even in periods of crisis.

About CPTM (Companhia Paulista de Trens Metropolitanos)

CPTM is Sao Paulo's metropolitan train company. Established in 1992, the company
inherited a railroad that was lacking in resources and fraught with numerous
problems, mainly involving the areas of safety and security and customer
service. A tremendous revolution took place over the years, and the company went
from transporting 894 thousand users a day to reach today's figure of 1.6
million.

With a view to the future, the company anticipates significant investments in
the next few years intended for line extension, station construction and
renovation, infrastructure upgrade, and fleet expansion and recovery.
