Berliet ended up being a French manufacturer connected with automobiles, buses, trucks and military vehicles among other vehicles based in Vénissieux, outside of Lyon, France. Founded in 1899, and apart from some sort of five-year period from 1944 to 1949 when it turned out put into 'administration sequestre' ıt had been in private ownership until 1967 when it then became part of Citroën, and subsequently acquired simply by Renault in 1974 as well as merged with Saviem right into a new Renault Trucks corporation in 1978. The Berliet marque was phased out by 1980.Marius Berliet started his / her experiments with automobiles in 1894. Some single-cylinder cars were being followed in 1900 by a twin-cylinder model. In 1902, Berliet took over the plant of Audibert & Lavirotte throughout Lyon. Berliet started to assemble four-cylinder automobiles featured with a honeycomb radiator and metallic chassis frame was used instead of wood. The next year, a model was launched that's similar to contemporary Mercedes. In 1906, Berliet sold the licence for manufacturing his model to the American Locomotive Company.
Just before World War I, Berliet offered a selection of models from 8 CV to 60 CV. The main models experienced four-cylinder engines (2412 cc and 4398 cc, respectively), and there was a six-cylinder style of 9500 cc. A 1539 cc design (12 CV) had been produced between 1910 in addition to 1912. From 1912, six-cylinder models were made upon individual orders simply.The First World War led to a massive increase widely used. Berliet, like Renault and Latil, produced trucks for your French army. The military orders placed major demands around the factory's capacity, necessitating major investment within production plant and manufacturing area space.In 1915 a 600 hectare site was obtained between Vénissieux et Saint-Priest to be able to build a new primary factory.The Berliet CBA grew to become the iconic truck within the Voie Sacrée, supplying the battle the front at Verdun during 1916. 25, 000 of these 4/5 ton Berliet trucks, originally launched in 1914, were ordered by the 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 currently. The number of individuals employed increased to 3, 150.By 1917 the value of annual turnover acquired multiplied fourfold since the beginning of the war, and a new lawful structure was deemed correct. The company became the Société anonyme des Autos Marius Berliet.Following your war the manufacturer reoriented part of its production back to be able to passenger cars, but Berliet nevertheless discovered themselves with excess capability, as the army was no longer buying all the vans the factory could make, and overall output halved.Marius Berliet responded for the outbreak of peace by deciding to make just a single form of truck and a single type of car, which represented a starting from his pre-war current market strategy. The single truck where Berliet focused was this 5 ton CBA that had served the country so well during the particular war.

The passenger car to get produced, exhibited on the Berliet stand with the 15th Paris Motor Demonstrate in October 1919, was the 3296cc (15HP/CV) "Torpedo" bodied "Berliet Sort VB" of modern look. Marius Berliet was not just one to miss a technique: rather than devote time and engineering talent to possessing a new car for the revolutionary decade, he obtained and duplicated an American Dodge. The Dodge was notoriously robust, and the Berliet replicate was well received inside March 1919 when this had its first community outing, locally, at the Lyon Industry Fair. The headlights were mounted unusually high and 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 April 1919. Unfortunately, however, the Berliet engineers failed to ensure the steel used in the car's construction was on the same quality as the North american steel used for the actual Dodge, and this resulted in series problems for your early customers of the particular "Berliet Type VB" and serious reputational damage to the company.

The factory was set up to create the "Berliet Type VB" with the rate of 100 cars every day which would have already been an ambitious target underneath any circumstances. The rapid drop-off sought after for what during this period was the manufacturer's only passenger car model that followed the quality issues plunged the organization into financial difficulties, with losses of fifty-five million francs recorded available as one year. Survival was in doubt, and Berliet was used in judicial administration in 1921. Marius Berliet himself had held 88% on the share capital, but was unable to repay all the company's creditors plus the firm therefore fell in the hands of the banks. Berliet was nevertheless capable to retain operational control. During the ensuring decade, supported by a sustained recovery widely used 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 over the business from the banks.
