The class BB 25200 locomotives were multi-system locomotives of the SNCF for superior express train services. They were designed for use with the 1.5 kV direct current and 25 kV / 50 Hz alternating current. In contrast to the sister classes BB 9200 and BB 16000, they reached a top speed of 160 km/h. An appropriate metal plate was mounted on the front of the locomotives that hauled the high-class long-distance train "Mistral" from Paris via Marseille to Nice.
