SNCB's class 12 locomotives are dual-voltage (25 kV AC and 3000 V DC) with a design based on single-voltage class 21 locomotives.
They were built to work freight and passenger services between Belgium and Lille in France. With the introduction of AM96 EMUs they have been displaced from passenger duty,[2] but continued to be used in freight service. They were withdrawn from service in 2012.[3]
In 2013 class 12 undertook tests in Czech Republic in order to receive Czech service certifications.[3]
