The Berliet marque was eliminated by 1980.Marius Berliet started their experiments with automobiles throughout 1894. Some single-cylinder cars were being followed in 1900 by the twin-cylinder model. In 1902, Berliet took over the plant of Audibert & Lavirotte inside Lyon. Berliet started to assemble four-cylinder automobiles featured by way of honeycomb radiator and metal chassis frame was used as an alternative to wood.

Just before World War I, Berliet offered a array of models from 8 RESUME to 60 CV. The main models experienced four-cylinder engines (2412 closed circuit and 4398 cc, respectively), and there was a six-cylinder type of 9500 cc. A 1539 cc design (12 CV) seemed to be produced between 1910 in addition to 1912. From 1912, six-cylinder models were produced upon individual orders solely.The First World War resulted in a massive increase successful. Berliet, like Renault and Latil, produced trucks for the French army. The military orders placed major demands within the factory's capacity, necessitating major investment throughout production plant and factory space.In 1915 a 400 hectare site was purchased between Vénissieux et Saint-Priest in order to build a new major 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 ton Berliet trucks, originally launched in 1914, were ordered by your French army. During 1916 40 ones were leaving the plant each day. Under license from Renault, Berliet were also creating shells and battle tanks currently. The number of staff employed increased to 3, 150.By 1917 the importance of annual turnover got multiplied fourfold since the beginning of the war, and a new authorized structure was deemed suitable. The company became the actual Société anonyme des Motor vehicles Marius Berliet.As soon as the war the manufacturer reoriented section of its production back to help passenger cars, but Berliet nevertheless identified themselves with excess capacity, as the army was don't buying all the trucks the factory could make, and overall output halved.Marius Berliet responded towards the outbreak of peace by deciding to create just a single kind of truck and a single type of car, which represented a departure from his pre-war industry strategy.

The passenger car being produced, exhibited on the Berliet stand on the 15th Paris Motor Present in October 1919, was the 3296cc (15HP/CV) "Torpedo" bodied "Berliet Sort VB" of modern physical appearance. Marius Berliet was not one to miss a strategy: rather than devote period and engineering talent to developing a new car for the brand new decade, he obtained and copied an American Dodge. The Dodge was notoriously robust, and the Berliet content was well received within March 1919 when that had its first community outing, locally, at the Lyon Industry Fair. The headlights were mounted unusually high plus the simple disc wheels had been large, giving the car an enjoyable "no nonsense" look. Particularly attractive was the expense of just 11, 800 francs in Oct 1919. Unfortunately, however, the Berliet engineers failed to make certain the steel used inside car's construction was with the same quality as the North american steel used for the particular Dodge, and this resulted in series problems for the early customers of the "Berliet Type VB" and serious reputational injury to the company.

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