Marius Berliet was it's unlikely that any to miss a technique: rather than devote time period and engineering talent to having a new car for the brand new decade, he obtained and cloned an American Dodge. The Dodge was once robust, and the Berliet replicate was well received inside March 1919 when this had its first community outing, locally, at the Lyon Deal Fair. The headlights were mounted unusually high and the simple disc wheels ended up large, giving the car an enjoyable "no nonsense" look.

The factory was set up to create the "Berliet Type VB" in the rate of 100 cars every day which would have also been an ambitious target underneath any circumstances. The rapid drop-off in demand for what at this stage was the manufacturer's merely passenger car model that followed the standard issues plunged the enterprise into financial difficulties, with losses of fifty-five million francs recorded in a year. Survival was in skepticism, and Berliet was put into judicial administration in 1921. Marius Berliet himself had held 88% from the share capital, but was unable to settle all the company's creditors and also the firm therefore fell into the hands of the banking institutions. Berliet was nevertheless in a position to retain operational control. During the ensuring ten years, supported by a sustained recovery in demand that in turn reflected an effective model strategy after 1922, Berliet was able in order to his debtors and, in 1929, to regain financial control over the business from the finance institutions.
