From 1912, six-cylinder models were made upon individual orders simply.The First World War triggered a massive increase successful. Berliet, like Renault and Latil, produced trucks for the French army. The military orders placed major demands about the factory's capacity, necessitating major investment throughout production plant and manufacturing facility space.In 1915 a four hundred hectare site was ordered between Vénissieux et Saint-Priest to be able to build a new principal factory.The Berliet CBA started to be the iconic truck around the Voie Sacrée, supplying the battle entrance at Verdun during 1916. 25, 000 of these 4/5 heap Berliet trucks, originally launched in 1914, were ordered by the particular French army.

The passenger car for being produced, exhibited on the Berliet stand at the 15th Paris Motor Present in October 1919, was the 3296cc (15HP/CV) "Torpedo" bodied "Berliet Variety VB" of modern appearance. Marius Berliet was not merely one to miss a technique: rather than devote time and engineering talent to developing a new car for the revolutionary decade, he obtained and cloned an American Dodge. The Dodge was once robust, and the Berliet backup was well received with March 1919 when this had its first general public outing, locally, at the Lyon Industry Fair. The headlights were mounted unusually high as well as the simple disc wheels had been large, giving the car an enjoyable "no nonsense" look. Particularly attractive was the price of just 11, 800 francs in April 1919. Unfortunately, however, the Berliet engineers failed to make certain the steel used in the car's construction was on the same quality as the Us steel used for the actual Dodge, and this resulted in series problems to the early customers of this "Berliet Type VB" and serious reputational damage to the company.
The factory were being set up to develop the "Berliet Type VB" at the rate of 100 cars daily which would have also been an ambitious target underneath any circumstances. The rapid drop-off sought after for what at this time was the manufacturer's solely passenger car model that followed the product quality issues plunged the company into financial difficulties, with losses of fifty five million francs recorded in a single year. Survival was in uncertainty, and Berliet was slipped into judicial administration in 1921. Marius Berliet himself had held 88% from the share capital, but was unable to repay all the company's creditors as well as the firm therefore fell in the hands of the financial institutions. Berliet was nevertheless able to retain operational control. During the ensuring several years, supported by a sustained recovery successful that in turn reflected a simple yet effective model strategy after 1922, Berliet was able to settle his debtors and, in 1929, to regain financial control on the business from the banks.
