Class 18 Hybrid Battery Shunting Locomotives for Sale

ROMIC Group is proud to be able to offer these innovative hybrid battery shunting locomotives.

Built from 2020, and impeccably maintained, the class was designed to replace aging, and costly to maintain, diesel shunters. These modern locomotives are ideal for general shunting duties, sidings, industrial sites, docks, steelworks, nuclear power plants and mining sites.
