Berliet ended up being a French manufacturer involving automobiles, buses, trucks and military automobiles among other vehicles situated in Vénissieux, outside of Lyon, France. Founded in 1899, and apart from a five-year period from 1944 to 1949 when it turned out put into 'administration sequestre' it absolutely was in private ownership until 1967 when after that it became part of Citroën, and subsequently acquired through Renault in 1974 along with merged with Saviem right into a new Renault Trucks firm in 1978. The Berliet marque was eliminated by 1980.Marius Berliet started his or her experiments with automobiles in 1894. Some single-cylinder cars were followed in 1900 by the twin-cylinder model. In 1902, Berliet took over the plant of Audibert & Lavirotte inside Lyon. Berliet started to construct four-cylinder automobiles featured by way of a honeycomb radiator and material chassis frame was used instead of wood. The next year, a model was launched which was similar to contemporary Mercedes. In 1906, Berliet sold the driver's licence for manufacturing his model on the American Locomotive Company.

Just before World War I, Berliet offered a array of models from 8 COMPREHENSIVE RESUME to 60 CV. The main models got four-cylinder engines (2412 cc and 4398 cc, respectively), and there was a six-cylinder style of 9500 cc. A 1539 cc design (12 CV) has been produced between 1910 and 1912. From 1912, six-cylinder models were built upon individual orders just.The First World War generated a massive increase successful. Berliet, like Renault and Latil, produced trucks for the French army. The military orders placed major demands on the factory's capacity, necessitating major investment inside production plant and manufacturing facility space.In 1915 a 300 hectare site was obtained between Vénissieux et Saint-Priest in order to build a new main factory.The Berliet CBA evolved into the iconic truck around the Voie Sacrée, supplying the battle entrance at Verdun during 1916. 25, 000 of these 4/5 great deal Berliet trucks, originally launched in 1914, were ordered by the French army. During 1916 40 of them were leaving the plant each day. Under license from Renault, Berliet were also producing shells and battle tanks presently. The number of personnel employed increased to 3, 150.By 1917 the benefit of annual turnover got multiplied fourfold since the start of the war, and a new legal structure was deemed appropriate. The company became this Société anonyme des Autos Marius Berliet.Following your war the manufacturer reoriented component of its production back for you to passenger cars, but Berliet nevertheless found themselves with excess ability, as the army was don't buying all the vehicles the factory could produce, and overall output halved.Marius Berliet responded to the outbreak of peace by deciding to make just a single style of truck and a single type of car, which represented a travel from his pre-war market place strategy. The single truck where Berliet focused was this 5 ton CBA that had served the country so well during the war.

The passenger car to become produced, exhibited on the Berliet stand with the 15th Paris Motor Demonstrate in October 1919, was the 3296cc (15HP/CV) "Torpedo" bodied "Berliet Sort VB" of modern appearance. Marius Berliet was it's unlikely that any to miss a trick: rather than devote time period and engineering talent to developing a new car for the revolutionary decade, he obtained and replicated an American Dodge. The Dodge was notoriously robust, and the Berliet duplicate was well received throughout March 1919 when that had its first public outing, locally, at the Lyon Buy and sell Fair. The headlights were mounted unusually high plus the simple disc wheels were being large, giving the car a nice "no nonsense" look. Particularly attractive was the price tag on just 11, 800 francs in March 1919. Unfortunately, however, the Berliet engineers failed to make certain the steel used inside car's construction was in the same quality as the North american steel used for the particular Dodge, and this resulted in series problems to the early customers of this "Berliet Type VB" and serious reputational injury to the company.

The factory ended up set up to create the "Berliet Type VB" with the rate of 100 cars every day which would have recently been an ambitious target under any circumstances. The rapid drop-off successful for what at this stage was the manufacturer's only passenger car model that followed the quality issues plunged the enterprise into financial difficulties, with losses of fityfive million francs recorded in a single year. Survival was in question, and Berliet was used in judicial administration in 1921. Marius Berliet himself had held 88% from the share capital, but was unable to all the company's creditors and the firm therefore fell to the hands of the finance institutions. Berliet was nevertheless able to retain operational control. During the ensuring 10 years, supported by a sustained recovery sought after that in turn reflected a good model strategy after 1922, Berliet was able in order to his debtors and, in 1929, to regain financial control in the business from the banking companies.
