The SNCF Class BB 26000, known as the Sybic, is a class of dual voltage electric locomotives with four axles, built by GEC Alsthom between 1988 and 1998 for the French national railway SNCF and capable of 200 km/h. They were specified for both freight and passenger work, including hauling 16 Corail coaches at 200 km/h or a 2,050 tonne freight train at 80 km/h. Each has two cabs, a steel body and two pantographs, one for 1500 V and one for 25 kV, with three-phase synchronous traction motors like those of the TGV Atlantique. SNCF ordered 264 but only 234 were built, because the last 30 became the triple voltage Class BB 36000. As of December 2024, 140 of them remain in service.
