The main models got four-cylinder engines (2412 cc and 4398 cc, respectively), and there was a six-cylinder model of 9500 cc. A 1539 cc model (12 CV) has been produced between 1910 and 1912. From 1912, six-cylinder models were manufactured upon individual orders just.The First World War led to a massive increase widely used. Berliet, like Renault and Latil, produced trucks for this French army. The military orders placed major demands on the factory's capacity, necessitating major investment in production plant and manufacturing area space.In 1915 a four hundred hectare site was ordered between Vénissieux et Saint-Priest in order to build a new primary factory.The Berliet CBA became the iconic truck on the Voie Sacrée, supplying the battle entrance at Verdun during 1916. 25, 000 of these 4/5 ton Berliet trucks, originally launched in 1914, were ordered by the particular French army.

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 Variety VB" of modern appearance. Marius Berliet was it's unlikely that any to miss a tip: rather than devote time and engineering talent to creating a new car for the revolutionary decade, he obtained and ripped an American Dodge. The Dodge was once robust, and the Berliet copy was well received throughout March 1919 when the idea had its first open public outing, locally, at the Lyon Trade Fair. The headlights were mounted unusually high along with the simple disc wheels were large, giving the car an enjoyable "no nonsense" look. Particularly attractive was the cost of just 11, 800 francs in July 1919. Unfortunately, however, the Berliet engineers failed to make certain the steel used from the car's construction was from the same quality as the United states steel used for this Dodge, and this resulted in series problems to the early customers of the actual "Berliet Type VB" and serious reputational destruction of the company.

The factory have been set up to create the "Berliet Type VB" in the rate of 100 cars per day which would have already been an ambitious target within any circumstances. The rapid drop-off successful for what during this period was the manufacturer's merely passenger car model that followed the quality issues plunged the small business into financial difficulties, with losses of fifty five million francs recorded in a year. Survival was in question, and Berliet was put into judicial administration in 1921. Marius Berliet himself had held 88% from the share capital, but was unable to pay off all the company's creditors and the firm therefore fell into the hands of the banking companies. Berliet was nevertheless in a position to retain operational control. During the ensuring decade, supported by a sustained recovery in demand that in turn reflected a powerful model strategy after 1922, Berliet was able to repay his debtors and, in 1929, to regain financial control above the business from the finance institutions.
