We go back to InnoTrans with the Brazilian Pavilion,

which brings together multinational and Brazilian capi-

tal companies, operators and associations, emphasizing

the importance not only of presence, as well as the op-

portunities that may arise for prospecting for new busi-

ness and the identification of new technologies that can

be implemented in the Brazilian network. The federal

government and the private sector are working together

to put Brazil on track and recover the path of intensive

use of freight and passenger trains. Thus, we are im-

proving people's mobility, which is a problem in big

cities nowadays, and freight logistics.Rodrigo Vilaça, CEO of ANTF

The Brazilian rail transport is experiencing a great moment for investment and expan-sion. In 2011, $4.36 billion was invested. The freight operators made contributions of $2.42

billion in their networks, and passenger operators made another $1.93 billion.

Over the next five years, $27.75 billion should be in-vested only to build 10,000 km of new freight tracks. This amount is part of a $45-billion investment package of the Highway and Railroad Concession Program, an-nounced by the Federal Government on this August 15.

The new program includes 12 rail projects: Ferroanel of São Paulo – North (between Jundiaí and Manuel Feio) and South (between Ouro Fino and Evangelista de Souza) Stretches; Access to the Port of Santos, from Ri-beirão Pires to the port entrance; Railroad between Lucas do Rio Verde (state of Mato Grosso) and Uruaçu (state of Goiás) and Uruaçu-Corinto-Campos; Rio de Janei-ro-Campos-Vitória Railroad; Belo Horizonte-Salvador Railroad; Salvador-Recife Railroad; Stretch between Estrela D’oeste-Panorama-Maracaju; Stretch between Maracaju and Mafra; São Paulo-Mafra-Rio Grande do Sul Stretch; and Açailândia-Vila do Conde Stretch.

According to the adopted model of public-private partnership (PPP), the Government will contract the construction, main-tenance and operation of railroads. Valec, state-owned company that so far was in charge of the construction of government’s railroads, will pur-chase the full capacity of the railroad transport and will make a public of-fering of capacity. The sale of the ca-pacity will be made for users desiring to carry their own freight, indepen-dent rail operators and rail transport concessionaires. According to the Transport Minister Paulo Sérgio Pas-sos, this measure guarantees the right of passage of trains by all networks

and seeks a more affordable rate.During the presentation of the program, President Dil-

ma Rousseff said that investments are to improve and expand the structure, increase capacity and reduce logis-tics costs. The new program also includes the expansion of Brazilian highways.

Currently, the Brazilian rail network has 29,130 km of freight tracks and 1,042 km of passenger tracks. An-other 4,580 km of tracks are being built, 4,468 km for freight and 112 km for passengers.

Freight TransportationInvestments in freight railroads grew 50% from 2010

to 2011. Last year, the concessionaires invested $2.42 billion, against $1.58 billion in the previous year.

Vale was the company that invested the most: $842.5 million. The company is responsible for the operations of the Carajás Railroad (EFC), Vitória-Minas Railroad (EFVM), Central Atlantic Railroad (FCA) and North-South Railroad (FNS), which operates the stretch be-tween Açailândia, in the state of Maranhão, and Palmas, in the state of Tocantins. The company's largest contri-bution was made in the EFC, with $525.4 million. The amount is being used in the expansion of the track and

in the maritime terminal of Ponta da Madeira. The main product trans-ported through the railroad is iron ore.

The second place in the invest-ment ranking is occupied by Trans-nordestina Logística, with $644.3 million. The company is construct-ing 605 km and improving another 1, 123 km of rail tracks in the Brazil-ian Northeast. Terminals at the ports of Pecém, in the state of Ceará, and Suape, in the state of Pernambuco, are also being built.

América Latina Logística, which operates 12,000 km of tracks, last

year invested $373.69 million in its network. The amount comprised investments in the four networks operated by the concessionaire: South Network, West Network, North Network and São Paulo Network. According to the company, the amount was invested in organic growth and expansion works of Ferronorte, railroad in the Cen-ter-West region that will be a major route for handling the Brazilian harvest.

The Tereza Cristina Railroad (FTC), which operates a 164-km track in the state of Santa Catarina, invested $743,400 in 2011. The amount was used in the perma-nent way, telecoms, modernization of shops, signaling, training, and others. The main product handled by the FTC is coal.

The Paraná Oeste Railroad (Ferroeste) was the one that made the lower investment in 2011, accord-ing to data from the National Land Transport Agency (ANTT – Agência Nacional de Transportes Terrestres): $14,372. The amount was used primarily in the main-tenance of permanent way and terminals. The railroad

is 248.6 km long and belongs to the Government of the State of Paraná.

Passenger transportInvestments in passenger transport in 2011 were

slightly lower than the previous year. Operators applied $1.88 billion last year, while in the year before the figure reached $2.27 billion.

In 2011, São Paulo Metropolitan Train Company (CPTM - Companhia Paulista de Trens Metropolitanos) made the greatest contribution to passenger transport, totaling $743.4 million. CPTM is investing in the mod-ernization of its tracks with improvements in overhead system and permanent way, deployment of Communi-cations-Based Train Control (CBTC), purchase of trains and accessibility of stations. In May, the company com-pleted 20 years.

São Paulo Metro (Companhia do Metropolitano de São Paulo) invested $644.3 million. The state-owned company’s largest financial volumes were intended for

rolling stock, civil works and systems, respectively. Metro is expanding Line 5-Lilac, building the monorail of Line 2-Green and developing projects for deployment of new lines such as 6-Orange, 15-White, 20-Pink and 18-Bronze.

Investments of the Company of Urban Trains of Porto Alegre (Trensurb) totalized $126.62 million in 2011. The expansion of the network between the cities of São Leopoldo and Novo Hamburgo was responsible for the largest investments of the company, which is linked to the Ministry of Cities. Contributions were also made in the modernization and adaptation of systems, in the per-manent way and deployment of airmobile, an elevated track that will connect the Salgado Filho International Airport to the city’s train system.

In June, the Fortaleza Metro (Metrofor) delivered the first stretch of the South Line, between the stations of Pajuçara and Parangaba. The line received much of the Metrofor investments in 2011, with $105 million out of the $125.88 million that metro invested throughout the year. The remainder of Metrofor’s investment was di-rected to the West Line, in operation, to works of the Light Rail Vehicle (LRV) of Sobral, and to the LRV of the city of Fortaleza, which will link the districts of Pa-rangaba and Mucuripe.

The Rio Janeiro Metro was the fifth system that in-vested the most in the past year. The Rio de Janeiro concessionaire invested $87.12 million in the mod-ernization of the metro system, energy systems, traffic control, ventilation, signaling, accessibility, purchase of new passenger coaches and construction of the Ci-dade Nova and Uruguai stations. In April, MetrôRio received the first train of the 19 trains ordered from the Chinese company CNR.

SuperVia, responsible for the suburban trains of Rio de Janeiro, has invested $60.26 million last year. The largest amount was allocated to the new signaling system that the company is implementing in its five branches, followed by investments in rolling stock and improve-ments in the permanent way.

The trains of Salvador received $85 million in contributions by the Transport Company of Salvador (CTS - Companhia de Transportes de Salvador). The amount was used for the replacement of the railroad bridge São João, in the permanent way and in the met-ro track works.

The Brazilian Company of Urban Trains (CBTU – Companhia Brasileira de Trens Urbanos) invested $39.35 million in its systems. The track of Recife, in the state of Pernambuco, received $30.97 million for improvements in the permanent way and moderniza-tion of the track. Maceió got $5.74 million, which were also used in the improvement of its track. The capital of Rio Grande do Norte, Natal, received another $1.83 million, and João Pessoa, in the state of Paraíba, another $842,500, both also for improvements in the permanent way. The Belo Horizonte metro did not receive invest-ments in 2011.

The metro in Brasília, Brazil's capital, injected $25.12 million in the remainder of the payment of trains ac-quired in 2010/2011, in the purchase of wayside equip-ment, and in the beginning of the deployment of the Au-tomatic Train Operation (ATO).

The Cariri LRV, the first Light Rail Vehicle operating in the country, in the countryside of the state of Ceará, received $941,700 in investments. The amount was used in the automation of level crossings, in rolling stock and in the building of a station.

Alongside the package of rail investments, the Bra-zilian government announced the creation of Empresa de Planejamento e Logística S.A. (EPL). Through a provisional measure, Empresa de Transporte Fer-roviário de Alta Velocidade (Etav), recently created, was transformed into EPL.

Among the responsibilities of the new state-owned company are the studies of the Brazilian logistics, investments, constitution and structure of projects,

and concessions in the areas of railroads, highways, waterways, ports and airports. The company will also be responsible for the project of the High Speed Rail (HSR).

The EPL will be headed by Bernardo Figueiredo, former director of the National Land Transport Agen-cy (ANTT – Agência Nacional de Transportes Ter-restres) and one of the main organizers of the Brazil-ian HSR.

encouraged by the large freight projects – such as North-South Railroad, Transnordestina and expansion of Carajás Railroad – and passenger projects – such as the monorail projects in São

Paulo, urban trains, metros and Light Rail Vehicles – do-mestic industry of rolling stock prepares for major orders.

Check below the status of each action and the prospect of new demands:

Freight Transportation

CarsAfter breaking the second record in the car manufac-

ture in 2011 – 5,616 units were produced – the railroad industry expects to stabilize the demand and maintain the market warm by the end of the decade. According to the Brazilian Railroad Industry Association (Abifer), the amount achieved last year is only behind 2005, when there was a production of 7597 cars, a record since the survey began to be made by the association in 1971. For this year, it is estimated that this demand is between 3,500 to 4,000 units, establishing four thousand cars per year by 2019. Brazil currently has a fleet of 100,935 cars. The Association estimates that between 2010 and 2019 the car industry will produce 40 thousand units. "The projection we did is based on talks with the car manufacturers, with the concessionaires, assessment of the Brazilian market and empirical studies, based on the arithmetic average of the last three years," said the president of Abifer, Vincent

Abate. If the expectation is realized, it will be the largest production in a decade.

In this tune, the car manufacturers already have major contracts for this year. AmstedMaxion is working to pro-vide 1347 cars: 1,033 to Vale; 181 to Transnordestina/CSN; 50 to MRS; 50 to Anglo Ferrous; 25 to Comilog (from Ga-bon) and eight to Manserv. The company Randon, from the state of Rio Grande do Sul, in turn, has signed two orders for 2012. 540 cars are being manufactured for VLi (Vale)-MRC and 168 cars for MRS (supplement of the delivery started in 2011). Usiminas Mecânica has a backlog with more than 700 units in its branch in the city of Santana do Paraíso, state of Minas Gerais. In this volume, 447 tele-scopic cars are being manufactured for Eldorado Brasil, in addition to 220 GDU-type units for Vale.

New projects, new demandsThe best way to estimate the growth of the market is by

looking at new projects in railroad freight transport. The main projects, existing and scalable, are:

Brado Logística – arm of América Latina Logística (ALL) for the transport of containers – is investing $49.52 million in rolling stock in 2012. The value includes the purchase of 200 new cars, plus the reform of another 100, adding 300 cars to its current fleet. The investment is jus-tified by the bold idea of Brado: remove from the roads, by 2017, the equivalent to almost 948 thousand TEUs (Twenty Equivalent Units, or 20-ft containers) of freight traveling in containers and transport them on rails, mak-ing this system attractive for general freight.

Contrail – controlled by Estação da Luz Participações (EDLP) – also plans to remove trucks from highways. To do so, it signed an agreement with MRS Logística, and will invest in increasing the fleet of locomotives and in manu-facturing special double-stack type cars, which allows stacking of up to two containers. EDLP provides the order of about 100 cars of this type for the first phase of the proj-ect, still in 2012, with the creation of Intermodal Terminal of the Port of Santos (TIPS), located in the city of Cubatão, in São Paulo, and has investment of $49.52 million.

MRS Logística also signed an agreement with the mining company MMX for rail transport of 36 million tons / year of iron ore from Serra Azul mine, in the Iron Quadrangle of Minas Gerais, to Superport of Southeast,

in the city of Itaguaí, in Rio de Janeiro. The service is expected by 2026.

Also in the transport of iron ore, Vale is investing in the expansion of Carajás Railroad to transport 230 million tons / year from 2014. Last year, the railroad transported 104 million tons. To achieve this growth, the company is ex-panding the structures in Port Terminal Ponta da Madeira, of the Carajás Railroad, and will build a 101-km railroad branch connecting Canaã dos Carajás mine to the railroad, in the city of Parauapebas, state of Pará. The railroad ex-pansion is being made to meet the demand of Carajás mine and eventually Serra Sul project, with estimated capacity of 90 million tons of iron ore / year.

América Latina Logística (ALL) is finalizing the ex-pansion of Ferronorte, connecting Alto Araguaia to Ron-donópolis, a length of 260 km, in Mato Grosso. In 2013, when works are complete, the railroad will transport 2.5 million tons of freight / year.

LocomotivesThe Brazilian fleet of locomotives has 3,000 units. In the

locomotive market, the industry expects to maintain high domestic production, which last year broke the record with production of 113 machines. Since 1971, when Abifer be-gan counting domestic production, the manufacture of lo-comotives only achieved the production of more than 100 machines in the second half of the 1970s. In 2012, Abifer expects locomotive production reaches 110 units.

Brazil currently has two factories – both of U.S. origin – that produce locomotives for freight transport. General Electric (GE), in the city of Contagem, state of Minas Gerais, expects to manufacture about 60 units in 2012. The company will deliver in September the first of nine locomotives ordered by Vale for Rio Colorado project, in Mendoza, Argentina. The contract is for nine 3000-HP C30 EMP locomotives, with the possibility of increase. GE is also working on providing 115 AC44i units, with optional for 100 more, for MRS Logística. The units will be delivered in 2014.

Attracted by the heating market, Progress Rail – a Cat-erpillar Group company – started in late May the opera-tions of its new plant in the city of Sete Lagoas, also in

InnoTrans 2012Minas Gerais. The company is producing the first loco-motives of the 21 ordered by Eldorado, which has a con-tract with ALL to transport 800 thousand tons per year of pulp from its plant in the city of Três Lagoas (state of Mato Grosso do Sul) to the port of Santos, in the state of São Paulo. The first locomotive will be delivered in Oc-tober, and the remainder gradually until February 2013.

To ensure state and national production of locomotives, the government of Minas Gerais created the State Decree 45.996/2012, exempting Tax on Circulation of Goods and Services (ICMS) for sales of locomotives with power ex-ceeding 3,000 HP produced in State of Minas Gerais and for freight transport services.

Passenger coachesThe Brazilian fleet of passenger coaches has 3,701 ve-

hicles, distributed among 10 operators: São Paulo Metro-politan Train Company (CPTM), São Paulo Metro, Rio de Janeiro Metro, SuperVia, Recife Metro, Distrito Federal Metro, Belo Horizonte Metro, Fortaleza Metro, Salvador Urban Trains e Porto Alegre Trensurb.

The Brazilian industry produced in 2011 336 passen-ger coaches to domestic metro-railroad systems. For this year, Abifer projected production of 330 coaches, a de-crease of 1.8% compared to last year. Even with the drop, the manufacturers expect a jump in production with the completion of metro-railroad projects that are about to get started (see all projects on page 18A).

The new passenger projects stimulated the Canadian company Bombardier to open in April of this year a new

headquarters in the city of Hortolândia (state of São Pau-lo), designed exclusively for the manufacture of mono-rails. In the new structure, which by the end of the year will have capacity to produce one train per week, are be-ing manufactured the 54 trains for the extension of Line 2-Green of the São Paulo Metro, which will be the first monorail system in Latin America.

The French company Alstom, based in the district of Lapa, in São Paulo, is working in the manufacturing nine trains for CPTM’s Line 11-Coral and in modernizing 22 trains of the São Paulo Metro. In addition to the domes-tic demands, the Brazilian headquarters of Alstom will be responsible for manufacturing nine trains, in a 42-unit or-der, for the metro of Chennai, capital of the state of Tamil Nadu, at the southern tip of India. The remaining 33 trains will be manufactured at Alstom's new unit in India.

The Spanish company CAF, based in the city of Hor-tolândia, state of São Paulo, is working in the manufactur-ing of 36 trains for CPTM. The company will also manu-facture 40 LRVs, with seven coaches each, for the system of Cuiabá, state of Mato Grosso. CAF also participates in the competition to supply 22 LRVs to the São Paulo Met-ropolitan Urban Transport Company (EMTU) system for Baixada Santista, on the coast of São Paulo.

Siemens is working on modernization of 25 trains on Line 1-Blue of Metro São Paulo, together with Alstom, and 10 4400-Series trains of CPTM. Among the work undertaken by the company are the maintenance of Brasí-lia Metro, signaling of the lines of Rio de Janeiro Metro, modernization of 25 trains of Recife Metro and the supply of solutions for São Paulo Metro and CPTM, in the areas of rolling stock, signaling and electrification.

For the next seven years, only the city of São Paulo should generate orders for about 2,500 passenger coach-es, which will be used by CPTM and new metro projects. The amount includes the purchase of 65 trains for CPTM and 208 for São Paulo metro. The trains for the metro will be for the expansion of Line 5-Lilac; second phase of Line 4-Yellow, for Lines 1-Blue, 2- Green and 3- Red ; Line 6-Orange, Line 15-White and for monorails of Line 2-Green, 17-Gold and 18-Bronze.

160 passenger coaches also will be bid by Federal Government, 60 for Trensurb and another 100 passenger coaches for Companhia Brasileira de Trens Urbanos (Bra-zilian Company of Urban Trains – CBTU) of Belo Hori-zonte (state of Minas Gerais), Natal (state of Rio Grande do Norte), and João Pessoa (state of Paraíba).

rails from Japan, China and Poland, parts of diesel-electric locomotives and cars from United States and track machines from China, France and Italy were the rail items that Brazil

most imported last year, falling from 2010, but keeping the long-term growth, as the chart shows. The Brazilian railroad industry is booming, and imports are on the rise because of strong internal demand. For the same reason, exports are falling rapidly.

Revista Ferroviária did a survey in Alice statistical system, of Ministry of Development, Industry and Com-merce, on the 41 rail products that Brazil imported over the past five years. These were grouped into into seven categories – components for rolling stock, track mate-rial, locomotives, track machines, signaling equipment, EMUs and cars. We also evaluated the 12 main countries that supply rail equipment to Brazil: United States, Spain, China, Japan, Germany, France, Italy, Poland, Canada, Switzerland, India and South Korea, in that order in 2011.

The components for rolling stock are the largest items, consisting of vehicle parts, wheels and axles, brakes, bo-gies and bearings. The import of components increased last year, which is related to domestic orders for cars and EMUs. In 2011, the country broke the second car produc-tion record, 5,6 thousand units. On the passenger side,

Alstom and CAF also contributed with the purchase of components for the electric trains that they provided to São Paulo Metro and CPTM. The largest suppliers of roll-ing stock components to Brazil are United States, Spain, China, Germany and France.

The second category, track material, reduced the vol-ume by 57%. The biggest item in this category were rails. The growth in 2010 was due to the purchase of rails for large ongoing projects such as North-South Railroad and Transnordestina – Transnordestina itself bought over 400 km of tracks from China. The countries that send more tracks to Brazil are, respectively, Japan, China, Poland, France and Germany.

Locomotives appear in fourth place. United States leads the shipment of machines to Brazil, where there are GE and Caterpillar plants in operation. Parts of locomotives also appear on imports from Spain, China, Germany, Italy, Poland, Canada, India and Switzerland.

Imports of track machines remained stable in recent years. The main country that sends these machines to Brazil is Chi-na, followed by France, Italy and Switzerland. The Chinese were responsible for $3.9 million in imports in 2011, fol-lowed by the French, the Italian and the Swiss.

The signaling equipment had a small increase in im-ports from 2010 to 2011. Spain leads the shipment of

signaling equipment to Brazil. Invensys Rail railway signaling division in Spain provided Trensurb signaling system and is implementing the new CPTM system. The U.S. company Wabtec is deploying the new MRS signal-ing system, while Alstom is installing CBTC in the São Paulo Metro and Bombardier in the SuperVia. United States, France and Germany are the other countries from where we import the most equipment.

The Electric Multiple Units (EMUs) appear in penultimate place, with a big drop last year compared to 2010. The reduction was due to the fall on CAF´s imports. Even so, Spain, the country of origin of CAF, leads imports, followed by China, that in September last year brought the first CNR train to SuperVia. Some 25 Chinese trains are coming in this year of 2012, which will appear in the statistics at year end. In MDIC’s classification, the EMUs appear as Litorinas, term from Italian origin ("littorina") which was a Fiat brand.

In last place are the cars, which accounted

for only $273,000 in imports of rail products. The equip-ment came from China, and some of it from United States. Chinese car import is due to the agreement between Oya-mota do Brasil and Qiqihar Railway Rolling Stock. The Brazilian company has partnered with the Chinese com-pany for assembly and technology transfer of two GDU car prototypes for Vale.

(in $ FOB); *Imports of EMUs appearing in MDIC statistics as originated from Brazil were eliminated from this table. These EMUs actually were not imported but manufactured in Brazil by CAF. Here they were sent to bonded warehouses and then readmitted for tax issues relevant to the contract between CAF and the government of São Paulo.

Unlike imports, Brazilian exports of rail equipment have been falling over the long term, as the chart sho-ws. The decrease is also related to the high tax burden, that hinders competition abroad, and to the strong domestic demand, that uses most of the domestic output.

The most exported products were wheels and axles, totaling $22 million. Next are cast iron hollow profiles and pipes. Both products are part of the components for rolling stock, which leads exports. The whe-els and axles are manufactured in Brazil by MWL and AmstedMaxion, and the main destination countries were United States, Argentina, Mau-ritania (Africa) and Chile. The tubes and hollow profiles were sent to An-gola, Dominican Republic, Chile and Argentina.

Once more, locomotives stand out in Brazilian commercial transactions. They appear in third place in the list of exports, totaling $17 million. Last year, GE machines were sent to Co-lombia and Mozambique, and also to Nigeria and Argentina in 2010.
