Berliet ended up being a French manufacturer associated with automobiles, buses, trucks and military autos among other vehicles located in Vénissieux, outside of Lyon, France. Founded in 1899, and apart from a five-year period from 1944 to 1949 when it had been put into 'administration sequestre' it had been in private ownership until 1967 when it then became part of Citroën, and subsequently acquired by simply Renault in 1974 and also merged with Saviem in to a new Renault Trucks company in 1978. The Berliet marque was phased out by 1980.Marius Berliet started his / her experiments with automobiles inside 1894. Some single-cylinder cars had been followed in 1900 by way of a twin-cylinder model. In 1902, Berliet took over the particular plant of Audibert & Lavirotte in Lyon. Berliet started to construct four-cylinder automobiles featured by way of honeycomb radiator and aluminum chassis frame was used rather than wood. The next year, a model was launched which was similar to contemporary Mercedes. In 1906, Berliet sold the license for manufacturing his model for the American Locomotive Company.

Just before World War I, Berliet offered a array of models from 8 CURRICULUM VITAE to 60 CV. The main models had four-cylinder engines (2412 closed circuit and 4398 cc, respectively), and there was a six-cylinder type of 9500 cc. A 1539 cc model (12 CV) ended up being produced between 1910 and also 1912. From 1912, six-cylinder models were created upon individual orders just.The First World War concluded in a massive increase widely used. Berliet, like Renault and Latil, produced trucks for this French army. The military orders placed major demands for the factory's capacity, necessitating major investment in production plant and manufacturing area space.In 1915 a 500 hectare site was ordered between Vénissieux et Saint-Priest to be able to build a new primary factory.The Berliet CBA became the iconic truck within 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 this French army. During 1916 40 of them were leaving the plant on a daily basis. Under license from Renault, Berliet were also creating shells and battle tanks right now. The number of employees employed increased to 3, 150.By 1917 the value of annual turnover acquired multiplied fourfold since the beginning of the war, and a new legitimate structure was deemed proper. The company became the Société anonyme des Vehicles Marius Berliet.Following the war the manufacturer reoriented a part of its production back to be able to passenger cars, but Berliet nevertheless discovered themselves with excess ability, as the army was no longer buying all the pickup trucks the factory could create, and overall output halved.Marius Berliet responded on the outbreak of peace by deciding to produce just a single form of truck and a single kind of car, which represented a departure from his pre-war industry strategy. The single truck on what Berliet focused was the particular 5 ton CBA that had served the nation so well during the particular war.
The passenger car being produced, exhibited on the Berliet stand at the 15th Paris Motor Show in October 1919, was the 3296cc (15HP/CV) "Torpedo" bodied "Berliet Form VB" of modern overall look. Marius Berliet was not just one to miss a strategy: rather than devote time and engineering talent to possessing a new car for the brand new decade, he obtained and ripped an American Dodge. The Dodge was notoriously robust, and the Berliet replicate was well received in March 1919 when that had its first open outing, locally, at the Lyon Trade Fair. The headlights were mounted unusually high and also the simple disc wheels were being large, giving the car a pleasing "no nonsense" look. Particularly attractive was the expense of just 11, 800 francs in July 1919. Unfortunately, however, the Berliet engineers failed to make certain the steel used inside car's construction was of the same quality as the United states steel used for the Dodge, and this resulted in series problems for the early customers of this "Berliet Type VB" and serious reputational destruction of the company.

The factory was set up to produce the "Berliet Type VB" for the rate of 100 cars each day which would have recently been an ambitious target below any circumstances. The rapid drop-off popular for what at this stage was the manufacturer's only passenger car model that followed the high quality issues plunged the business into financial difficulties, with losses of fifty five million francs recorded in one year. Survival was in question, and Berliet was put in judicial administration in 1921. Marius Berliet himself had held 88% of the share capital, but was unable to repay all the company's creditors and also the firm therefore fell in the hands of the financial institutions. Berliet was nevertheless competent to retain operational control. During the ensuring ten years, supported by a sustained recovery popular that in turn reflected a powerful model strategy after 1922, Berliet was able to repay his debtors and, in 1929, to regain financial control within the business from the finance institutions.
