Berliet, like Renault and Latil, produced trucks for this French army. The military orders placed major demands about the factory's capacity, necessitating major investment inside production plant and manufacturing area space.In 1915 a 400 hectare site was acquired between Vénissieux et Saint-Priest in order to build a new principal factory.The Berliet CBA evolved into the iconic truck on the Voie Sacrée, supplying the battle entrance at Verdun during 1916. 25, 000 of these 4/5 ton Berliet trucks, originally launched in 1914, were ordered by the particular French army.

Marius Berliet was not merely one to miss a trick: rather than devote time and engineering talent to making a new car for the revolutionary decade, he obtained and duplicated an American Dodge. The Dodge was once robust, and the Berliet backup was well received inside March 1919 when the idea had its first public outing, locally, at the Lyon Buy and sell Fair. The headlights were mounted unusually high plus the simple disc wheels ended up large, giving the car a nice "no nonsense" look.
