Berliet had been a French manufacturer associated with automobiles, buses, trucks and military cars among other vehicles operating out of Vénissieux, outside of Lyon, France. Founded in 1899, and apart from a five-year period from 1944 to 1949 when it absolutely was put into 'administration sequestre' it had been in private ownership until 1967 when it then became part of Citroën, and subsequently acquired through Renault in 1974 as well as merged with Saviem into a new Renault Trucks organization in 1978. The Berliet marque was phased out by 1980.Marius Berliet started their experiments with automobiles in 1894. Some single-cylinder cars have been followed in 1900 by the twin-cylinder model. In 1902, Berliet took over this plant of Audibert & Lavirotte with Lyon. Berliet started to construct four-cylinder automobiles featured by way of a honeycomb radiator and metallic chassis frame was used rather than wood. The next year, a model was launched that has been similar to contemporary Mercedes. In 1906, Berliet sold the driving licence for manufacturing his model for the American Locomotive Company.

Just before World War I, Berliet offered a selection of models from 8 CURRICULUM VITAE to 60 CV. The main models got four-cylinder engines (2412 closed circuit and 4398 cc, respectively), and there was a six-cylinder style of 9500 cc. A 1539 cc type (12 CV) was produced between 1910 along with 1912. From 1912, six-cylinder models were manufactured upon individual orders merely.The First World War led to a massive increase successful. Berliet, like Renault and Latil, produced trucks for your French army. The military orders placed major demands around the factory's capacity, necessitating major investment throughout production plant and manufacturing plant space.In 1915 a 500 hectare site was acquired between Vénissieux et Saint-Priest as a way to build a new principal factory.The Berliet CBA evolved into the iconic truck on the Voie Sacrée, supplying the battle entrance at Verdun during 1916. 25, 000 of these 4/5 heap Berliet trucks, originally launched in 1914, were ordered by the French army. During 1916 40 ones were leaving the plant on a daily basis. Under license from Renault, Berliet were also generating shells and battle tanks at the moment. The number of workers employed increased to 3, 150.By 1917 the benefit of annual turnover received multiplied fourfold since the start of the war, and a new authorized structure was deemed suitable. The company became the particular Société anonyme des Motor vehicles Marius Berliet.After the war the manufacturer reoriented component of its production back for you to passenger cars, but Berliet nevertheless found themselves with excess capability, as the army was don't buying all the vehicles the factory could make, and overall output halved.Marius Berliet responded towards the outbreak of peace by deciding to provide just a single kind of truck and a single style of car, which represented a leaving from his pre-war current market strategy. The single truck on what Berliet focused was this 5 ton CBA that had served the world so well during the particular war.

The passenger car to be produced, exhibited on the Berliet stand in the 15th Paris Motor Present in October 1919, was the 3296cc (15HP/CV) "Torpedo" bodied "Berliet Form VB" of modern overall look. Marius Berliet was not merely one to miss a key: rather than devote occasion and engineering talent to developing a new car for the newest decade, he obtained and replicated an American Dodge. The Dodge was famously robust, and the Berliet backup was well received with March 1919 when that had its first community outing, locally, at the Lyon Industry Fair. The headlights were mounted unusually high plus the simple disc wheels had been large, giving the car a nice "no nonsense" look. Particularly attractive was the price of just 11, 800 francs in July 1919. Unfortunately, however, the Berliet engineers failed to make sure that the steel used within the car's construction was with the same quality as the American steel used for your Dodge, and this resulted in series problems with the early customers of the actual "Berliet Type VB" and serious reputational harm to the company.

The factory had been set up to make the "Berliet Type VB" in the rate of 100 cars each day which would have been an ambitious target within any circumstances. The rapid drop-off sought after for what at this time was the manufacturer's only passenger car model that followed the high quality issues plunged the business into financial difficulties, with losses of fifty five million francs recorded in a year. Survival was in question, and Berliet was placed in judicial administration in 1921. Marius Berliet himself had held 88% of the share capital, but was unable to settle all the company's creditors and also the firm therefore fell in to the hands of the banking institutions. Berliet was nevertheless capable of retain operational control. During the ensuring several years, supported by a sustained recovery successful that in turn reflected a highly effective model strategy after 1922, Berliet was able to pay off his debtors and, in 1929, to regain financial control in the business from the banking companies.
