Three Zephir LOK 16.300 shunters have entered service at CELSA Steel UK in Cardiff.

The shunters are expected to reduce emissions by around 40% and a series of competitions to name them are set to be opened soon. Any ideas? Let us know in the comments!

These new shunters will move steel billets from an electric arc furnace to the rolling mills.

“It’s great to see these clean, green new shunters enter service at CELSA Steel UK. They’re another example of how the rail freight sector plays a critical role in decarbonising the UK’s supply chains.

“I’m looking forward to seeing the nominated names for the new shunter locomotives – we’re hopeful we can use this to raise some money for charity and make people smile.”

John Smith, Chief Executive of GB Railfreight
