In 1902, Berliet took over the particular plant of Audibert & Lavirotte in Lyon. Berliet started to build four-cylinder automobiles featured by the honeycomb radiator and aluminum chassis frame was used instead of wood.

Before World War I, Berliet offered a variety of models from 8 RESUME to 60 CV. The main models got four-cylinder engines (2412 closed circuit and 4398 cc, respectively), and there was a six-cylinder model of 9500 cc. A 1539 cc type (12 CV) has been produced between 1910 and 1912. From 1912, six-cylinder models were manufactured upon individual orders solely.The First World War triggered a massive increase sought after. 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 with production plant and factory space.In 1915 a four hundred hectare site was acquired between Vénissieux et Saint-Priest so as to build a new major factory.The Berliet CBA became the iconic truck on the Voie Sacrée, supplying the battle front at Verdun during 1916. 25, 000 of these 4/5 lot Berliet trucks, originally launched in 1914, were ordered by this French army. During 1916 40 of these were leaving the plant daily. Under license from Renault, Berliet were also creating shells and battle tanks at the moment. The number of employees employed increased to 3, 150.By 1917 the price of annual turnover experienced multiplied fourfold since the start of the war, and a new lawful structure was deemed ideal. The company became the Société anonyme des Motor vehicles Marius Berliet.As soon as the war the manufacturer reoriented a part of its production back to help passenger cars, but Berliet nevertheless identified themselves with excess volume, as the army was no longer buying all the vehicles the factory could generate, and overall output halved.Marius Berliet responded for the outbreak of peace by deciding to provide just a single form of truck and a single type of car, which represented a starting from his pre-war market place strategy.

The passenger car to be produced, exhibited on the Berliet stand on the 15th Paris Motor Show in October 1919, was the 3296cc (15HP/CV) "Torpedo" bodied "Berliet Kind VB" of modern physical appearance. Marius Berliet was not merely one to miss a strategy: rather than devote occasion and engineering talent to having a new car for the modern decade, he obtained and copied an American Dodge. The Dodge was notoriously robust, and the Berliet replicate was well received inside March 1919 when it had its first public outing, locally, at the Lyon Industry Fair. The headlights were mounted unusually high and the simple disc wheels had been large, giving the car a pleasing "no nonsense" look. Particularly attractive was the price of just 11, 800 francs in July 1919. Unfortunately, however, the Berliet engineers failed to ensure that the steel used in the car's construction was from the same quality as the American steel used for the particular Dodge, and this resulted in series problems for the early customers of the "Berliet Type VB" and serious reputational problems for the company.

The factory had been set up to generate the "Berliet Type VB" on the rate of 100 cars per day which would have also been an ambitious target beneath any circumstances. The rapid drop-off in demand for what at this point was the manufacturer's solely passenger car model that followed the standard issues plunged the organization into financial difficulties, with losses of second there’s 55 million francs recorded a single year. Survival was in doubt, and Berliet was placed in 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 to the hands of the financial institutions. Berliet was nevertheless in a position to retain operational control. During the ensuring 10 years, supported by a sustained recovery successful that in turn reflected a simple yet effective model strategy after 1922, Berliet was able to repay his debtors and, in 1929, to regain financial control in the business from the finance institutions.
