A 1539 cc product (12 CV) seemed to be produced between 1910 in addition to 1912. From 1912, six-cylinder models were manufactured upon individual orders just.The First World War triggered a massive increase successful. Berliet, like Renault and Latil, produced trucks for this French army. The military orders placed major demands around the factory's capacity, necessitating major investment in production plant and factory space.In 1915 a 600 hectare site was obtained between Vénissieux et Saint-Priest so that you can build a new principal factory.The Berliet CBA started to be the iconic truck about the Voie Sacrée, supplying the battle top at Verdun during 1916. 25, 000 of these 4/5 ton Berliet trucks, originally launched in 1914, were ordered by the French army.

The passenger car to become produced, exhibited on the Berliet stand for the 15th Paris Motor Indicate in October 1919, was the 3296cc (15HP/CV) "Torpedo" bodied "Berliet Type VB" of modern visual appeal. Marius Berliet was not one to miss a key: rather than devote time and engineering talent to making a new car for the newest decade, he obtained and duplicated an American Dodge. The Dodge was famously robust, and the Berliet replicate was well received in March 1919 when that had its first general public outing, locally, at the Lyon Buy and sell Fair. The headlights were mounted unusually high and also the simple disc wheels were being large, giving the car a nice "no nonsense" look. Particularly attractive was the price of just 11, 800 francs in Oct 1919.

The factory were being set up to develop the "Berliet Type VB" for the rate of 100 cars each day which would have been recently an ambitious target below any circumstances. The rapid drop-off sought after for what at this point was the manufacturer's just passenger car model that followed the standard issues plunged the enterprise into financial difficulties, with losses of fifty-five million francs recorded in a single year. Survival was in hesitation, and Berliet was placed in judicial administration in 1921. Marius Berliet himself had held 88% of the share capital, but was unable to pay off all the company's creditors plus the firm therefore fell into the hands of the finance institutions. Berliet was nevertheless in a position to retain operational control. During the ensuring ten years, supported by a sustained recovery popular that in turn reflected a simple yet effective model strategy after 1922, Berliet was able to his debtors and, in 1929, to regain financial control on the business from the financial institutions.
