Berliet, like Renault and Latil, produced trucks for this French army. The military orders placed major demands around the factory's capacity, necessitating major investment in production plant and manufacturing area space.In 1915 a four hundred hectare site was obtained between Vénissieux et Saint-Priest so as to build a new main factory.The Berliet CBA started to be the iconic truck on the Voie Sacrée, supplying the battle entry 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 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 Variety VB" of modern visual appeal. Marius Berliet was not merely one to miss a tip: rather than devote period and engineering talent to having a new car for the brand new decade, he obtained and replicated an American Dodge. The Dodge was once robust, and the Berliet replicate was well received within March 1919 when that had its first general public outing, locally, at the Lyon Trade Fair. The headlights were mounted unusually high plus the simple disc wheels ended up large, giving the car a pleasing "no nonsense" look. Particularly attractive was the price of just 11, 800 francs in October 1919.
