Berliet seemed to be a French manufacturer of automobiles, buses, trucks and military autos among other vehicles located in Vénissieux, outside of Lyon, France. Founded in 1899, and apart from some sort of five-year period from 1944 to 1949 when it was put into 'administration sequestre' it had been in private ownership until 1967 when it then became part of Citroën, and subsequently acquired by Renault in 1974 along with merged with Saviem right into a new Renault Trucks organization in 1978. The Berliet marque was phased out by 1980.Marius Berliet started the experiments with automobiles throughout 1894. Some single-cylinder cars were being followed in 1900 with a twin-cylinder model. In 1902, Berliet took over this plant of Audibert & Lavirotte inside Lyon. Berliet started to create four-cylinder automobiles featured with a honeycomb radiator and aluminum chassis frame was used rather then wood. The next year, a model was launched that was similar to contemporary Mercedes. In 1906, Berliet sold the driving licence for manufacturing his model for the American Locomotive Company.
Prior to World War I, Berliet offered a range of models from 8 CV to 60 CV. The main models got four-cylinder engines (2412 cc and 4398 cc, respectively), and there was a six-cylinder style of 9500 cc. A 1539 cc style (12 CV) had been produced between 1910 in addition to 1912. From 1912, six-cylinder models were created upon individual orders only.The First World War generated a massive increase successful. Berliet, like Renault and Latil, produced trucks for the particular French army. The military orders placed major demands on the factory's capacity, necessitating major investment inside production plant and manufacturing area space.In 1915 a 300 hectare site was acquired between Vénissieux et Saint-Priest to be able to build a new major factory.The Berliet CBA grew to become the iconic truck about the Voie Sacrée, supplying the battle front at Verdun during 1916. 25, 000 of these 4/5 great deal Berliet trucks, originally launched in 1914, were ordered by your French army. During 1916 40 ones were leaving the plant everyday. Under license from Renault, Berliet were also providing shells and battle tanks at the moment. The number of employees employed increased to 3, 150.By 1917 the benefit of annual turnover experienced multiplied fourfold since the start of the war, and a new appropriate structure was deemed appropriate. The company became the Société anonyme des Cars Marius Berliet.Following war the manufacturer reoriented portion of its production back to be able to passenger cars, but Berliet nevertheless identified themselves with excess capacity, as the army was no longer buying all the vehicles the factory could create, and overall output halved.Marius Berliet responded on the outbreak of peace by deciding to produce just a single kind of truck and a single type of car, which represented a starting from his pre-war marketplace strategy. The single truck on what Berliet focused was the 5 ton CBA that had served the world so well during the war.

The passenger car being produced, exhibited on the Berliet stand with the 15th Paris Motor Demonstrate in October 1919, was the 3296cc (15HP/CV) "Torpedo" bodied "Berliet Form VB" of modern look. Marius Berliet was not one to miss a trick: rather than devote occasion and engineering talent to creating a new car for the new decade, he obtained and replicated an American Dodge. The Dodge was notoriously robust, and the Berliet content was well received in March 1919 when it had its first public outing, locally, at the Lyon Buy and sell Fair. The headlights were mounted unusually high as well as the simple disc wheels had been large, giving the car an enjoyable "no nonsense" look. Particularly attractive was the expense of just 11, 800 francs in October 1919. Unfortunately, however, the Berliet engineers failed to make sure that the steel used in the car's construction was from the same quality as the North american steel used for the actual Dodge, and this resulted in series problems for your early customers of your "Berliet Type VB" and serious reputational destruction of the company.

The factory had been set up to create the "Berliet Type VB" at the rate of 100 cars each day which would have recently been an ambitious target beneath any circumstances. The rapid drop-off sought after for what at this point was the manufacturer's only passenger car model that followed the coffee quality issues plunged the organization into financial difficulties, with losses of fifty-five million francs recorded a single year. Survival was in hesitation, and Berliet was put into judicial administration in 1921. Marius Berliet himself had held 88% on the share capital, but was unable to settle all the company's creditors and also 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 sought after that in turn reflected an effective model strategy after 1922, Berliet was able to his debtors and, in 1929, to regain financial control above the business from the financial institutions.
