Fábrica Nacional de Motores (FNM) was a Brazilian manufacturer of engines and motor vehicles based in the Xerém district of Duque de Caxias near Rio de Janeiro that operated between 1942 and 1988.
In 1960 the range was extended to include passenger cars, with the launch of the FNM 2000, a Brazilian version of the series 102 Alfa Romeo 2000 four door sedan (berlina). The engine was the same 1,975 cc twin camshaft unit found in the Italian product, but detuned to produce only 95 PS (70 kW). This series of cars was named "JK" in honor of the then-President Juscelino Kubitschek, who helped arrange the deal with Alfa Romeo.
