The British Rail Class 18 is a class of hybrid locomotives designed and built by the British railway locomotive manufacturer Clayton Equipment Company in Burton upon Trent, Staffordshire. It has also been referred to as the CBD90 Hybrid by Clayton and private railway customers.
The Class 18 was first revealed as the CBD90 during mid-2019; initial customers were typically operators of private railways, such as steelworks and nuclear power plants. In May 2020, the type was ordered by the rolling stock leasing company Beacon Rail, it has been envisioned as a successor to the 1950s era Class 08 and Class 09 shunters. The Class 18 is primarily battery-powered, being recharged either via track-side mains power supplies, regenerative braking, or its onboard diesel generator. A three-month trial using the first example of the type was conducted by the train operator GB Railfreight during early 2022.
