INTRODUCTION The Board of Directors of Teixeira Duarte, S.A. (TD,SA), in compliance with the regulatory and legal framework for publicly traded companies, has the pleasure to present its management report for the financial year 2010. During 2010, TD,SA became the leading listed company of the TEIXEIRA DUARTE Group, and before the closing of the financial year had acquired the ownership of 100% of the share capital of Teixeira Duarte – Engenharia e Construções, S.A. (TD-EC), which, in turn, thereafter no longer trades its shares on regulated markets. In this context, the present report will address the consolidated activity of TD,SA as leader of the Business Group comprising the universe of holdings identified in the "Table of the Teixeira Duarte Group - 2010" presented on the preliminary pages, and will disclose only brief notes on the Company in its individual capacity, namely with respect to the proposal for the appropriation of profit. Since each of these units has its own management bodies, which report on their individual activities, this document will provide only some observations for the purpose of allowing for a better perspective of the Group as a whole. In this context and in order to assess the development of the activity of these companies more appropriately, note will also be made, where justified, of some of their individual economic and financial indicators. The most appropriate way of presenting the topics object of the present Report will be to start with a brief description of the economic background, followed by an overall assessment of the action of the Teixeira Duarte Group, focusing on the most significant aspects of the Corporate Centre and in a consolidated perspective. The subsequent chapters will address the Group's different activity sectors, with an analysis of the respective performance over 2010, distinguishing for each the main markets of action, in particular the Construction area which is the core business of the Group. Reference will also be made to the strategic stakes held in listed companies during 2010, that is CIMPOR – Cimentos de Portugal – SGPS, S.A., Banco Comercial Português, S.A. and Banco Bilbao Vizcaya Argentaria, S.A.. The significant events that took place between the end of the financial year and the date on which this Report was prepared will then be described, followed by the outlook for 2011, currently in progress, ending with the proposal for the appropriation of profit. Attached to this document are, under the applicable legislation, the detailed report on the Company’s structure and corporate governance practices (prepared in compliance with article 245-A of the Securities Market Code and with CMVM Regulation number 1/2007), as well as information relative to the stake in the share capital of TD,SA (namely in accordance with articles 447 and 448 of the Portuguese Commercial Companies Code and CMVM Regulation number 5/2008). Moreover, this report also includes the individual and consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes, which were prepared in accordance with the International Financial Reporting Standards as adopted by the European Union, as well as the corresponding Reports and Opinions by the Audit Bodies, the Legal Certification of Accounts and the Audit Report prepared by an auditor registered at the CMVM. Pursuant to sub-paragraph c) of number 1 of article 245 of the Securities Market Code, the undersigned state that, to the best of their knowledge, the Management Report, annual accounts, legal certification of accounts and other documents presenting the accounts were prepared in accordance with applicable accounting standards, giving a true and fair view of the assets and liabilities, financial situation and WorldReginfo - 6e6c6c6f-90a8-46f2-8295-ba752863773f 12 Management Report of the Board of Directors 2010 results of TD,SA and the companies included in the consolidation perimeter, as well as faithfully presenting the evolution of the businesses, performance and position of each of these entities, containing a description of the main risks and uncertainties facing them.

  • A Linha De Velocidade Elevada (LVE) a Construir Entre Porto E Vigo
    Integrar o Aeroporto Sá Carneiro na Linha de Velocidade Elevada Porto­Galiza através da Linha de Leixões António Alves 10‐01‐2008 As grandes vantagens desta proposta são não pôr em causa o objectivo de ligar Porto a Vigo em 60 minutos, a facilidade de construção e o baixo custo financeiro. Esta ligação será sempre muitíssimo mais barata que uma solução em túnel e com prazos de construção incomparavelmente menores. António Alves, 10 de Janeiro de 2008 Integrar o Aeroporto Sá Carneiro na Linha de Velocidade Elevada Porto-Galiza através da Linha de Leixões Enquadramento Segundo as propostas tornadas públicas pelo Governo, a Linha de Velocidade Elevada (LVE) a construir entre Porto e Vigo assentará basicamente, pelo menos numa primeira fase, no aproveitamento de parte do actual traçado da Linha do Minho (Porto Campanhã a Nine), Ramal de Braga (Nine a Braga) e na construção de um novo troço entre Braga e Valença. Será construída em bitola1 ibérica (1668 mm), mas o novo troço Braga -Valença será desde já assente em travessas polivalentes a fim de no futuro facilitar a sua migração para a bitola europeia (1435 mm). A linha estará vocacionada para tráfego misto (mercadorias e passageiros); a velocidade de projecto será de 250 km/h de modo a permitir um tempo de percurso na casa dos 60 minutos entre as cidades do Porto e Vigo. Na prática esta linha oferecerá um serviço de passageiros em tudo idêntico ao que é actualmente oferecido na Linha do Norte pelos comboios Alfa Pendular, os quais tecnicamente são Comboios de Velocidade Elevada (CVE).

    Page 0863 World Electric Vehicle Journal Vol. 3 - ISSN 2032-6653 - © 2009 AVERE EVS24 Stavanger, Norway, May 13-16, 2009 Integration of Renewable Energies for Trolleybus and Mini-Bus Lines in Coimbra Aníbal T. de Almeida1, Carlos Inverno1, Luís Santos2 1Dep. Electrical & Computer Engineering, University of Coimbra, [email protected] 2Coimbra Municipality Urban Transport Services Abstract Trolleybuses and electric mini-buses in the Portuguese city of Coimbra are one of the main forms of daily transportation of its many citizens. As part of CIVITAS MODERN European Project MObility, Development and Energy use ReductioN, one of its main objectives for Coimbra is the integration of clean production electricity system owned by the City Council, able to supply the energy to the trolleybus traction lines, plus electric energy to charge the batteries of the electric mini-buses fleet. This electric fleet is undergoing a significant expansion in the near future. A study was carried out in order to evaluate the potential of renewable energy production to supply the electric fleet public transportation in Coimbra, reducing the necessity of fossil fuels and associated emissions, therefore improving the air quality. The electricity source will be a low head hydro potential, using an already existing dam-bridge, where a group of turbine-generators units can be placed, with modest operation costs and reduced civil works with small environmental impact. The optimization of the renewable energy generation is also assessed as a function of the load profiles. Keywords: Trolleybus lines, public transport, electric vehicles, energy consumption, emissions reduction, hydropower transportation system by implementing several 1 Introduction measures as part of the concept of sustainable mobility.
