The BB 22200 is a French electric locomotive class for use both on the SNCF's 1.5 kV electrified DC network and on the 25 kV 50 Hz electrified AC network. The design of these locomotives, with their so-called nez cassé (broken nose), was created by the Frenchman Paul Arzens, who was responsible for designing several SNCF locomotives around that time. In the years 1976 to 1986, a total of 205 locomotives in six different construction series were produced by Alstom.
From the year 1999 onwards, the locomotives were distributed between the different business units. The locomotives which were issued to the freight transport sector were given the grey/green/white FRET livery.
