Final drive gearbox for one of the hybrid CBD90 Bo-Bo locomotives being built in 2020 by Clayton Equipment Ltd at Burton-on-Trent for Tata Steel at Port Talbot. Electric drive is powered by a large bank of lead acid batteries which are charged by a Deutz diesel running in the front compartment. Further ordershave since been gained from Tata Steel and also for two Hybrid+ CBD80 locomotives for Sellafield. A further order has been agreed Beacon Rail Leasing for the supply of 15 more CBD90 locomotives along with options for a period of three years. Each electric loco weighs 90 tonnes and is capable of pulling (or pushing) loads up to 2,500 tonnes.

This was one of two hybrid CBD90 Bo-Bo locomotives being built by Clayton Equipment Ltd at Burton-on-Trent for Tata Steel at Port Talbot. One other locomotive of this type had already been delivered to Tata.
