ACMAT (''Ateliers de Construction Mécanique de L'Atlantique'', also known as ALM-ACMAT) () was a French company that has manufactured cross-country and tactical military vehicles since 1958. Known for their reliability, simplicity, ruggedness and their 80% (over 3,500) commonality of parts across the entire product line, their vehicles were originally targeted at African and Asian countries who could not afford more expensive vehicles. The company builds their vehicles based on standardisation, parts sharing, and backward compatibility, with some vehicles using the same parts as ones made 30 years ago. This system involves cabs, structural components, engines and drive trains, which are often shared between models.
ACMAT is a subsidiary of Arquus Defense, previously Renault Truck Defense, which since 22 May 2006 has been a wholly owned subsidiary of Renault Trucks.
