They were one of four classes, together with the BB 12000, CC 14000 and CC 14100 classes, that formed an experimental group for studying the practicality of the new French electrification. The standard French electrification system before WWII was 1,500 V DC, beginning with locomotives such as the 2BB2 400. Post-WWII, France occupied the south-west of Germany and the .

SNCF Class Z 22500 SNCF Class Z 22500 SNCF Class Z 22500 "Eole" is a type of double-decker, dual-voltage electric multiple units operated on the French RER E line, and originally on the Paris Saint-Lazare network.
