The UMM Alter II is a Portuguese 4X4 vehicle built for agricultural, industrial and commercial uses and was built from 1986 to 1994 by União Metalo-Mecânica (UMM).

UMM acquired the business to build this odd looking thing from a French firm called Cournil that started by repairing a batch of WWII US Army Jeeps left behind and eventually developed the slantnose beast you see today.

UMMis a Portuguese metal works factory and ex-automobile manufacturer based inLisbon, Portugal. It was founded in 1977 with the purpose of manufacturingfour-wheel drivevehicles for agricultural, industrial and utility applications.

The UMM4x4design is derived from a prototype created by the French engineering firm calledSIMI. SIMI had produced theCournil, a rugged two seater boxy looking Landrover type of vehicle made with Hotchkiss-JEEP parts with Ferguson Diesel tractor allwheel driven mechanicals itself was originally designed and built by mechanical engineer Bernard Cournil. A civilian model was called the SIMI Entrepreneur 4X4. The Cournil Entrepreneur's building rights were acquired in the 1970s by the Portuguese company União Metalo-Mecânica, part of theMocargroup and were renamed as UMM.

They became known for their durability, especially when in theParis-Dakarrally the team was able to finish with all the cars that started. Many UMMs are still in use by utilities in Spain, Portugal,Cape Verde(in use by the national army) and France and also by the "Guarda Nacional Republicana" (PortugueseGendarmerie), fire service and military, although the majority of their customers were private individuals.
