The SNCF Class BB 47000 Prima electric locomotive is a 6000 kW (8000 hp) locomotive built by Alstom. This locomotive is the quadruple-voltage version of the Class BB 27000. So far only one locomotive numbered 47001 has been built and was tested by Fret SNCF with a view for further orders. In 2006 it became clear that SNCF wouldn’t order this version anymore and the locomotive had passed on to Alstom as a permanent test bed locomotive for testing different Alstom technologies.
