Alta (not to be confused with a British company with the same name) was a Greek manufacturer of light and heavier three-wheeler trucks, motorcycles and passenger cars. Production of motorcycles and three-wheeler trucks with Sachs 50cc engines started in its first factory in Athens in 1962. The '50S' motorcycle model was known for its reliability (some survive to date in good working condition). In 1967 it designed and developed model 'A700', a heavier three-wheeler truck with 2-cylinder BMW 35hp engine and a payload of 800 Kg. The truck, featuring a pleasant design and high reliability became one of the most successful vehicles of its kind in Greece. In 1968 Alta introduced a three-wheeler passenger car, model 'A200'. Powered by a Heinkel 200cc engine, it was based on the German Fuldamobil (also produced by Attica in Greece under licence), but with Alta's own body design. The company moved production to new, larger facory in Elefsis where it operated until 1978.
