From 1912, six-cylinder models were created upon individual orders just.The First World War resulted in a massive increase sought after. 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 inside production plant and factory space.In 1915 a 300 hectare site was bought between Vénissieux et Saint-Priest so as to build a new key factory.The Berliet CBA became the iconic truck around the Voie Sacrée, supplying the battle top at Verdun during 1916. 25, 000 of these 4/5 lot Berliet trucks, originally launched in 1914, were ordered by the actual French army.

The passenger car to be produced, exhibited on the Berliet stand at the 15th Paris Motor Present in October 1919, was the 3296cc (15HP/CV) "Torpedo" bodied "Berliet Variety VB" of modern appearance. Marius Berliet was probably none to miss a key: rather than devote time period and engineering talent to having a new car for the newest decade, he obtained and cloned an American Dodge. The Dodge was notoriously robust, and the Berliet duplicate was well received throughout March 1919 when that had its first general public outing, locally, at the Lyon Buy and sell Fair. The headlights were mounted unusually high plus the simple disc wheels have been large, giving the car a pleasing "no nonsense" look. Particularly attractive was the cost of just 11, 800 francs in Oct 1919. Unfortunately, however, the Berliet engineers failed in order that the steel used inside the car's construction was from the same quality as the American steel used for the particular Dodge, and this resulted in series problems with the early customers of your "Berliet Type VB" and serious reputational injury to the company.

Survival was in uncertainty, and Berliet was put into judicial administration in 1921. Marius Berliet himself had held 88% of the share capital, but was unable to all the company's creditors along with the firm therefore fell in to the hands of the banks.
