A 1539 cc design (12 CV) ended up being produced between 1910 as well as 1912. From 1912, six-cylinder models were produced upon individual orders only.The First World War generated a massive increase popular. Berliet, like Renault and Latil, produced trucks for the French army. The military orders placed major demands about the factory's capacity, necessitating major investment within production plant and manufacturer space.In 1915 a 400 hectare site was acquired between Vénissieux et Saint-Priest in order to build a new principal factory.The Berliet CBA became the iconic truck within the Voie Sacrée, supplying the battle front at Verdun during 1916. 25, 000 of these 4/5 load Berliet trucks, originally launched in 1914, were ordered by the actual French army. During 1916 40 of which were leaving the plant every day. Under license from Renault, Berliet were also making shells and battle tanks at the moment. The number of workers employed increased to 3, 150.By 1917 the benefit of annual turnover acquired multiplied fourfold since the start of the war, and a new legitimate structure was deemed ideal. The company became the Société anonyme des Automobiles Marius Berliet.As soon as the war the manufacturer reoriented part of its production back to help passenger cars, but Berliet nevertheless identified themselves with excess capacity, as the army was no more buying all the vans the factory could create, and overall output halved.Marius Berliet responded towards the outbreak of peace by deciding to create just a single form of truck and a single form of car, which represented a departure from his pre-war market place strategy.

The passenger car to be produced, exhibited on the Berliet stand in the 15th Paris Motor Display in October 1919, was the 3296cc (15HP/CV) "Torpedo" bodied "Berliet Variety VB" of modern look. Marius Berliet was it's unlikely that any to miss a trick: rather than devote occasion and engineering talent to developing a new car for the new decade, he obtained and replicated an American Dodge. The Dodge was once robust, and the Berliet duplicate was well received inside March 1919 when it had its first community outing, locally, at the Lyon Industry Fair. The headlights were mounted unusually high and also the simple disc wheels had been large, giving the car a nice "no nonsense" look. Particularly attractive was the cost of just 11, 800 francs in Oct 1919. Unfortunately, however, the Berliet engineers failed to make sure that the steel used from the car's construction was with the same quality as the Us steel used for the 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 generate the "Berliet Type VB" with the rate of 100 cars daily which would have been an ambitious target under any circumstances. The rapid drop-off widely used for what during this period was the manufacturer's only passenger car model that followed the quality issues plunged the business into financial difficulties, with losses of fifty-five million francs recorded in a single year. Survival was in doubt, and Berliet was used in judicial administration in 1921. Marius Berliet himself had held 88% of the share capital, but was unable in order to all the company's creditors as well as the firm therefore fell into the hands of the banking companies. Berliet was nevertheless competent to retain operational control. During the ensuring ten years, supported by a sustained recovery in demand that in turn reflected an effective model strategy after 1922, Berliet was able to pay off his debtors and, in 1929, to regain financial control over the business from the banking institutions.
