Berliet, like Renault and Latil, produced trucks for the French army. The military orders placed major demands about the factory's capacity, necessitating major investment with production plant and manufacturer space.In 1915 a four hundred hectare site was acquired between Vénissieux et Saint-Priest so that you can build a new main factory.The Berliet CBA evolved into the iconic truck on the Voie Sacrée, supplying the battle front at Verdun during 1916. 25, 000 of these 4/5 ton Berliet trucks, originally launched in 1914, were ordered by this French army.

The passenger car to get produced, exhibited on the Berliet stand for the 15th Paris Motor Present in October 1919, was the 3296cc (15HP/CV) "Torpedo" bodied "Berliet Type VB" of modern physical appearance. Marius Berliet was not just one to miss a strategy: rather than devote period and engineering talent to possessing a new car for the new decade, he obtained and cloned an American Dodge. The Dodge was notoriously robust, and the Berliet content was well received throughout March 1919 when the idea had its first public outing, locally, at the Lyon Business Fair. The headlights were mounted unusually high plus the simple disc wheels were being large, giving the car a nice "no nonsense" look. Particularly attractive was the buying price of just 11, 800 francs in March 1919.

Survival was in doubt, and Berliet was used in judicial administration in 1921. Marius Berliet himself had held 88% from the share capital, but was unable in order to all the company's creditors and the firm therefore fell in to the hands of the finance institutions. Berliet was nevertheless capable to retain operational control.
