From 1912, six-cylinder models were made upon individual orders just.The First World War resulted in a massive increase widely used. Berliet, like Renault and Latil, produced trucks for this French army. The military orders placed major demands for the factory's capacity, necessitating major investment in production plant and manufacturing facility space.In 1915 a 500 hectare site was purchased between Vénissieux et Saint-Priest so as to build a new key factory.The Berliet CBA started to be the iconic truck for the Voie Sacrée, supplying the battle top at Verdun during 1916. 25, 000 of these 4/5 lot Berliet trucks, originally launched in 1914, were ordered by the French army.

The passenger car to be produced, exhibited on the Berliet stand at the 15th Paris Motor Show in October 1919, was the 3296cc (15HP/CV) "Torpedo" bodied "Berliet Form VB" of modern visual appeal. Marius Berliet was not one to miss a key: rather than devote time and engineering talent to having a new car for the new decade, he obtained and ripped an American Dodge. The Dodge was famously robust, and the Berliet replicate was well received inside March 1919 when it had its first general public outing, locally, at the Lyon Trade Fair. The headlights were mounted unusually high along with the simple disc wheels were large, giving the car a pleasing "no nonsense" look. Particularly attractive was the price tag on just 11, 800 francs in Oct 1919.

The factory had been set up to develop the "Berliet Type VB" in the rate of 100 cars every day which would have recently been an ambitious target within any circumstances. The rapid drop-off sought after for what during this period was the manufacturer's simply passenger car model that followed the product quality issues plunged the organization into financial difficulties, with losses of fifty-five million francs recorded a single year. Survival was in skepticism, and Berliet was placed in judicial administration in 1921. Marius Berliet himself had held 88% of the share capital, but was unable to all the company's creditors plus the firm therefore fell in the hands of the finance institutions. Berliet was nevertheless capable of retain operational control.
