The Berliet marque was eliminated by 1980.Marius Berliet started his experiments with automobiles inside 1894. Some single-cylinder cars were followed in 1900 by a twin-cylinder model. In 1902, Berliet took over the plant of Audibert & Lavirotte throughout Lyon. Berliet started to develop four-cylinder automobiles featured by a honeycomb radiator and aluminum chassis frame was used as an alternative to wood. The next year, a model was launched that's similar to contemporary Mercedes. In 1906, Berliet sold the permit for manufacturing his model towards the American Locomotive Company.

Prior to World War I, Berliet offered a range of models from 8 RESUME to 60 CV. The main models experienced four-cylinder engines (2412 cc and 4398 cc, respectively), and there was a six-cylinder style of 9500 cc. A 1539 cc type (12 CV) had been produced between 1910 as well as 1912. From 1912, six-cylinder models were made upon individual orders simply.The First World War generated a massive increase popular. Berliet, like Renault and Latil, produced trucks for the actual French army. The military orders placed major demands on the factory's capacity, necessitating major investment in production plant and manufacturing area space.In 1915 a 300 hectare site was obtained between Vénissieux et Saint-Priest so that you can build a new main factory.The Berliet CBA became the iconic truck for the Voie Sacrée, supplying the battle top at Verdun during 1916. 25, 000 of these 4/5 heap Berliet trucks, originally launched in 1914, were ordered by the French army.

The company became your Société anonyme des Motor vehicles Marius Berliet.After the war the manufacturer reoriented section of its production back to be able to passenger cars, but Berliet nevertheless found themselves with excess capacity, as the army was no longer buying all the trucks the factory could produce, and overall output halved.Marius Berliet responded on the outbreak of peace by deciding to produce just a single kind of truck and a single type of car, which represented a leaving from his pre-war marketplace strategy. The single truck what is the best Berliet focused was your 5 ton CBA that had served the media so well during this war.

The passenger car to become produced, exhibited on the Berliet stand in the 15th Paris Motor Display in October 1919, was the 3296cc (15HP/CV) "Torpedo" bodied "Berliet Sort VB" of modern physical appearance. Marius Berliet was probably none to miss a technique: rather than devote time and engineering talent to having a new car for the brand new decade, he obtained and replicated an American Dodge. The Dodge was famously robust, and the Berliet copy was well received throughout March 1919 when the item had its first public outing, locally, at the Lyon Trade Fair. The headlights were mounted unusually high and also the simple disc wheels ended up large, giving the car a pleasing "no nonsense" look. Particularly attractive was the cost of just 11, 800 francs in Oct 1919.

Survival was in hesitation, and Berliet was used in judicial administration in 1921. Marius Berliet himself had held 88% on the share capital, but was unable to pay off all the company's creditors along with the firm therefore fell in the hands of the banking companies.
