The BB 15000 is a French electric locomotive class for use on the
AC 25 kV 50 Hz rail network electrified with alternating current.

responsible for designing several SNCF locomotives around that

locomotives. The locomotives are the first French main line
locomotives with two driver's cabs that have only one current
collector and were the last electric locomotives of the SNCF to be
designed only for the alternating current system.
