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 within production plant and factory space.In 1915 a four hundred hectare site was ordered between Vénissieux et Saint-Priest in order to build a new principal factory.The Berliet CBA grew to become the iconic truck within the Voie Sacrée, supplying the battle entry at Verdun during 1916. 25, 000 of these 4/5 ton Berliet trucks, originally launched in 1914, were ordered by your French army.

Marius Berliet was not merely one to miss a technique: rather than devote period and engineering talent to developing a new car for the brand new decade, he obtained and ripped an American Dodge. The Dodge was once robust, and the Berliet content was well received throughout March 1919 when it had its first general public outing, locally, at the Lyon Deal Fair.

The factory have been set up to develop the "Berliet Type VB" in the rate of 100 cars every day which would have been an ambitious target underneath any circumstances. The rapid drop-off popular for what at this stage was the manufacturer's merely 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 question, and Berliet was put into judicial administration in 1921. Marius Berliet himself had held 88% on the share capital, but was unable to repay all the company's creditors and the firm therefore fell in the hands of the banking institutions. 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 a highly effective model strategy after 1922, Berliet was able to settle his debtors and, in 1929, to regain financial control above the business from the banks.
