The Berliet marque was eliminated by 1980.Marius Berliet started his / her experiments with automobiles inside 1894. Some single-cylinder cars have been followed in 1900 by the twin-cylinder model. In 1902, Berliet took over the actual plant of Audibert & Lavirotte throughout Lyon. Berliet started to construct four-cylinder automobiles featured by a honeycomb radiator and aluminum chassis frame was used rather then wood.

Before World War I, Berliet offered a array of models from 8 CONTINUE to 60 CV. The main models had four-cylinder engines (2412 closed circuit and 4398 cc, respectively), and there was a six-cylinder model of 9500 cc. A 1539 cc model (12 CV) was produced between 1910 in addition to 1912. From 1912, six-cylinder models were produced upon individual orders simply.The First World War led to a massive increase widely used. Berliet, like Renault and Latil, produced trucks for the particular French army. The military orders placed major demands around the factory's capacity, necessitating major investment with production plant and manufacturing facility space.In 1915 a 500 hectare site was ordered between Vénissieux et Saint-Priest to be able to build a new primary factory.The Berliet CBA grew to be the iconic truck about the Voie Sacrée, supplying the battle front at Verdun during 1916. 25, 000 of these 4/5 load Berliet trucks, originally launched in 1914, were ordered by the actual French army. During 1916 40 of which were leaving the plant each day. Under license from Renault, Berliet were also making shells and battle tanks at the moment. The number of personnel employed increased to 3, 150.By 1917 the benefit of annual turnover experienced multiplied fourfold since the start of the war, and a new legitimate structure was deemed proper. The company became the actual Société anonyme des Autos Marius Berliet.After the war the manufacturer reoriented a part of its production back in order to passenger cars, but Berliet nevertheless observed themselves with excess capability, as the army was not buying all the vehicles the factory could develop, and overall output halved.Marius Berliet responded on the outbreak of peace by deciding to produce just a single style of truck and a single form of car, which represented a starting from his pre-war market strategy.

The passenger car being produced, exhibited on the Berliet stand on the 15th Paris Motor Indicate in October 1919, was the 3296cc (15HP/CV) "Torpedo" bodied "Berliet Form VB" of modern physical appearance. Marius Berliet was probably none to miss a tip: rather than devote period and engineering talent to developing a new car for the brand new decade, he obtained and copied an American Dodge. The Dodge was famously robust, and the Berliet backup was well received throughout March 1919 when the item had its first community outing, locally, at the Lyon Industry Fair. The headlights were mounted unusually high and also the simple disc wheels had been large, giving the car a pleasing "no nonsense" look. Particularly attractive was the price tag on just 11, 800 francs in October 1919. Unfortunately, however, the Berliet engineers failed to make sure that the steel used inside the car's construction was on the same quality as the United states steel used for the Dodge, and this resulted in series problems for that early customers of the actual "Berliet Type VB" and serious reputational destruction of the company.

The factory ended up set up to generate the "Berliet Type VB" for the rate of 100 cars per day which would have already been an ambitious target under any circumstances. The rapid drop-off widely used for what at this stage was the manufacturer's only passenger car model that followed the high quality issues plunged the enterprise into financial difficulties, with losses of 55 million francs recorded in a single year. Survival was in uncertainty, and Berliet was used in judicial administration in 1921. Marius Berliet himself had held 88% of the share capital, but was unable to all the company's creditors and the firm therefore fell into the hands of the banks. Berliet was nevertheless in a position to retain operational control. During the ensuring ten years, supported by a sustained recovery in demand that in turn reflected a simple yet effective model strategy after 1922, Berliet was able to pay off his debtors and, in 1929, to regain financial control on the business from the financial institutions.
