Before World War I, Berliet offered a array of models from 8 CURRICULUM VITAE to 60 CV. The main models got four-cylinder engines (2412 cc and 4398 cc, respectively), and there was a six-cylinder type of 9500 cc. A 1539 cc product (12 CV) seemed to be produced between 1910 along with 1912. From 1912, six-cylinder models were produced upon individual orders merely.The First World War generated a massive increase widely used. Berliet, like Renault and Latil, produced trucks for the actual French army. The military orders placed major demands within the factory's capacity, necessitating major investment throughout production plant and manufacturer space.In 1915 a 500 hectare site was bought between Vénissieux et Saint-Priest so as to build a new major factory.The Berliet CBA evolved into the iconic truck within the Voie Sacrée, supplying the battle top 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 them were leaving the plant every day. Under license from Renault, Berliet were also producing shells and battle tanks presently. The number of employees employed increased to 3, 150.By 1917 the price of annual turnover experienced multiplied fourfold since the beginning of the war, and a new legal structure was deemed ideal. The company became the Société anonyme des Vehicles Marius Berliet.Following war the manufacturer reoriented portion of its production back to help passenger cars, but Berliet nevertheless discovered themselves with excess potential, as the army was don't buying all the vans the factory could generate, and overall output halved.Marius Berliet responded towards the outbreak of peace by deciding to create just a single style of truck and a single type of car, which represented a leaving from his pre-war current market strategy. The single truck on which Berliet focused was the actual 5 ton CBA that had served the united states so well during your war.

The passenger car for being produced, exhibited on the Berliet stand for the 15th Paris Motor Show in October 1919, was the 3296cc (15HP/CV) "Torpedo" bodied "Berliet Sort VB" of modern visual appeal. Marius Berliet was not one to miss a strategy: rather than devote time and engineering talent to developing a new car for the modern decade, he obtained and duplicated an American Dodge. The Dodge was once robust, and the Berliet copy was well received with March 1919 when the item had its first open public outing, locally, at the Lyon Industry Fair. The headlights were mounted unusually high as well as the simple disc wheels have been large, giving the car an enjoyable "no nonsense" look. Particularly attractive was the cost of just 11, 800 francs in Oct 1919.

The factory were being set up to produce the "Berliet Type VB" at the rate of 100 cars per day which would have been an ambitious target underneath any circumstances. The rapid drop-off successful for what during this period was the manufacturer's just passenger car model that followed the high quality issues plunged the business into financial difficulties, with losses of fifty five million francs recorded available as one year. Survival was in doubt, and Berliet was put in judicial administration in 1921. Marius Berliet himself had held 88% in the share capital, but was unable to pay off all the company's creditors plus the firm therefore fell into the hands of the banking institutions. Berliet was nevertheless capable of retain operational control. During the ensuring few years, supported by a sustained recovery in demand that in turn reflected a simple yet effective model strategy after 1922, Berliet was able to settle his debtors and, in 1929, to regain financial control on the business from the banking companies.
