The SOciété des Véhicules André Morin (SOVAM) is a French company that specializes in mechanized handling equipment for airports. In the mid-to-late 1960s they also operated an automobile manufacturing division

The company was established by André Morin in 1930, and was an outgrowth of his father Robert Morin's existing car and carriage workshop business. Based in the commune of Parthenay in the department of Deux-Sèvres, Sovam specialized in the manufacture of "camions magasin", or mobile shop kiosks built on light truck platforms. In 1962 Morin spun this business off into the Etalmobil brand, and Sovam diversified into other lucrative niches, producing airport handling equipment and specialized light utility vehicles.

In 1964 they introduced a “Véhicule Utilitaire de Livraison” (light delivery vehicle) or `VUL' which used a fibreglass truck or van body mounted on a shortened Renault 4 chassis. The vehicle proved to be ideal for urban delivery work.

In 1965 Morin decided to launch a low-volume Sovam sports car designed by Jacques Durand the car would make extensive use of Renault 4 parts, including a shortened version of that car's punt chassis and its entire power-train with its windscreen from the Renault Floride its fibre glass body compact two-seat coupé with a greenhouse whose sides curved inward towards the centre of the car and that was topped by a removable roof panel

After the Sportscar division ceased, the business continued to prosper, in particular the division focusing on supplying airports with special purpose vehicles and rolling walkways. The Special Vehicles operation continued until 2015 when SOVAM entered receivership
