Berliet ended up being a French manufacturer regarding automobiles, buses, trucks and military autos among other vehicles operating out of Vénissieux, outside of Lyon, France. Founded in 1899, and apart from some sort of five-year period from 1944 to 1949 when it absolutely was put into 'administration sequestre' it was in private ownership until 1967 when after that it became part of Citroën, and subsequently acquired by means of Renault in 1974 and merged with Saviem in a new Renault Trucks business in 1978. The Berliet marque was eliminated by 1980.Marius Berliet started his experiments with automobiles throughout 1894. Some single-cylinder cars ended up followed in 1900 with a twin-cylinder model. In 1902, Berliet took over this plant of Audibert & Lavirotte inside Lyon. Berliet started to build four-cylinder automobiles featured by the honeycomb radiator and metallic chassis frame was used rather than wood. The next year, a model was launched that has been similar to contemporary Mercedes. In 1906, Berliet sold the driver's licence for manufacturing his model towards the American Locomotive Company.

Previous to World War I, Berliet offered a variety of models from 8 CV to 60 CV. The main models acquired four-cylinder engines (2412 cc and 4398 cc, respectively), and there was a six-cylinder style of 9500 cc. A 1539 cc model (12 CV) ended up being produced between 1910 in addition to 1912. From 1912, six-cylinder models were built upon individual orders just.The First World War resulted in a massive increase in demand. Berliet, like Renault and Latil, produced trucks for the particular French army. The military orders placed major demands for the factory's capacity, necessitating major investment throughout production plant and factory space.In 1915 a 300 hectare site was bought between Vénissieux et Saint-Priest as a way to build a new principal factory.The Berliet CBA grew to be the iconic truck within the Voie Sacrée, supplying the battle top at Verdun during 1916. 25, 000 of these 4/5 great deal Berliet trucks, originally launched in 1914, were ordered by the actual French army. During 1916 40 of these were leaving the plant on a daily basis. Under license from Renault, Berliet were also creating shells and battle tanks currently. The number of workers employed increased to 3, 150.By 1917 the price of annual turnover acquired multiplied fourfold since the start of the war, and a new authorized structure was deemed appropriate. The company became the Société anonyme des Cars Marius Berliet.After the war the manufacturer reoriented section of its production back in order to passenger cars, but Berliet nevertheless discovered themselves with excess capacity, as the army was no more buying all the vans the factory could make, and overall output halved.Marius Berliet responded for the outbreak of peace by deciding to create just a single form of truck and a single type of car, which represented a starting from his pre-war current market strategy. The single truck on which Berliet focused was the particular 5 ton CBA that had served the country so well during the war.

The passenger car to get produced, exhibited on the Berliet stand on the 15th Paris Motor Indicate in October 1919, was the 3296cc (15HP/CV) "Torpedo" bodied "Berliet Sort VB" of modern physical appearance. Marius Berliet was not merely one to miss a key: rather than devote occasion and engineering talent to having a new car for the modern decade, he obtained and duplicated an American Dodge. The Dodge was once robust, and the Berliet copy was well received in March 1919 when it had its first open outing, locally, at the Lyon Trade Fair. The headlights were mounted unusually high plus the simple disc wheels had been large, giving the car a nice "no nonsense" look. Particularly attractive was the cost of just 11, 800 francs in March 1919. Unfortunately, however, the Berliet engineers failed to make sure that the steel used in the car's construction was of the same quality as the Us steel used for the Dodge, and this resulted in series problems with the early customers of the "Berliet Type VB" and serious reputational problems for the company.

The factory were being set up to create the "Berliet Type VB" on the rate of 100 cars on a daily basis which would have also been an ambitious target underneath any circumstances. The rapid drop-off in demand for what at this point was the manufacturer's only passenger car model that followed the product quality issues plunged the enterprise into financial difficulties, with losses of 55 million francs recorded available as one year. Survival was in doubt, and Berliet was put into judicial administration in 1921. Marius Berliet himself had held 88% with the share capital, but was unable to repay all the company's creditors and the firm therefore fell into the hands of the banking companies. Berliet was nevertheless capable of retain operational control. During the ensuring 10 years, supported by a sustained recovery in demand that in turn reflected an effective model strategy after 1922, Berliet was able to settle his debtors and, in 1929, to regain financial control over the business from the banking institutions.
