Berliet, like Renault and Latil, produced trucks for the French army. The military orders placed major demands around the factory's capacity, necessitating major investment throughout production plant and manufacturing area space.In 1915 a 300 hectare site was obtained between Vénissieux et Saint-Priest in order to build a new major factory.The Berliet CBA evolved into the iconic truck for the Voie Sacrée, supplying the battle front at Verdun during 1916. 25, 000 of these 4/5 great deal Berliet trucks, originally launched in 1914, were ordered by your French army.

Marius Berliet was not one to miss a technique: rather than devote occasion and engineering talent to having a new car for the new decade, he obtained and cloned an American Dodge. The Dodge was once robust, and the Berliet replicate was well received with March 1919 when this had its first open public outing, locally, at the Lyon Industry Fair.

The factory were being set up to develop the "Berliet Type VB" with the rate of 100 cars each day which would have been recently an ambitious target below any circumstances.
