The Berliet marque was phased out by 1980.Marius Berliet started his / her experiments with automobiles throughout 1894. Some single-cylinder cars had been followed in 1900 by the twin-cylinder model. In 1902, Berliet took over the particular plant of Audibert & Lavirotte throughout Lyon. Berliet started to create four-cylinder automobiles featured by a honeycomb radiator and steel chassis frame was used as an alternative to wood. The next year, a model was launched that was similar to contemporary Mercedes. In 1906, Berliet sold the license for manufacturing his model towards the American Locomotive Company.
Ahead of World War I, Berliet offered a array of models from 8 COMPREHENSIVE RESUME to 60 CV. The main models experienced four-cylinder engines (2412 closed circuit and 4398 cc, respectively), and there was a six-cylinder model of 9500 cc. A 1539 cc model (12 CV) had been produced between 1910 in addition to 1912. From 1912, six-cylinder models were made upon individual orders only.The First World War generated a massive increase popular. Berliet, like Renault and Latil, produced trucks for the particular French army. The military orders placed major demands on the factory's capacity, necessitating major investment with production plant and manufacturing facility space.In 1915 a 600 hectare site was bought between Vénissieux et Saint-Priest in order to build a new major factory.The Berliet CBA became the iconic truck around the Voie Sacrée, supplying the battle entry at Verdun during 1916. 25, 000 of these 4/5 load Berliet trucks, originally launched in 1914, were ordered by the particular French army.

The company became the particular Société anonyme des Autos Marius Berliet.Following the war the manufacturer reoriented a part of its production back to help passenger cars, but Berliet nevertheless observed themselves with excess ability, as the army was no more buying all the vehicles the factory could develop, and overall output halved.Marius Berliet responded for the outbreak of peace by deciding to create just a single sort of truck and a single sort of car, which represented a starting from his pre-war marketplace strategy.

The passenger car to get produced, exhibited on the Berliet stand for the 15th Paris Motor Present in October 1919, was the 3296cc (15HP/CV) "Torpedo" bodied "Berliet Variety VB" of modern visual appeal. Marius Berliet was it's unlikely that any to miss a trick: rather than devote occasion and engineering talent to developing a new car for the modern decade, he obtained and copied an American Dodge. The Dodge was notoriously robust, and the Berliet duplicate was well received throughout March 1919 when the idea had its first open public outing, locally, at the Lyon Industry Fair. The headlights were mounted unusually high along with the simple disc wheels were being large, giving the car an enjoyable "no nonsense" look. Particularly attractive was the expense of just 11, 800 francs in October 1919.

The factory had been set up to produce the "Berliet Type VB" at the rate of 100 cars each day which would have also been an ambitious target underneath any circumstances. The rapid drop-off popular for what at this stage was the manufacturer's solely passenger car model that followed the coffee quality issues plunged the organization into financial difficulties, with losses of fifty-five million francs recorded a single year. Survival was in doubt, and Berliet was put into judicial administration in 1921. Marius Berliet himself had held 88% in the share capital, but was unable to settle all the company's creditors and the firm therefore fell to the hands of the banks. Berliet was nevertheless in a position to retain operational control. During the ensuring 10 years, supported by a sustained recovery widely used 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 in the business from the financial institutions.
