The Sprinter is a family of diesel multiple unit trains in use on the British railway system. They were built in the 1980s and early 1990s by BREL Metro Cammell and Leyland. Most are based around a Cummins engine with Voith hydraulic transmission although 47 class 158 units have a Perkins engine instead.
