The factory had been set up to generate the "Berliet Type VB" at the rate of 100 cars daily which would have been recently an ambitious target within any circumstances. The rapid drop-off successful for what during this period was the manufacturer's only passenger car model that followed the high quality issues plunged the enterprise into financial difficulties, with losses of fifty-five million francs recorded in a single year. Survival was in skepticism, and Berliet was used in judicial administration in 1921. Marius Berliet himself had held 88% on the share capital, but was unable in order to all the company's creditors and also the firm therefore fell in to the hands of the finance institutions. Berliet was nevertheless capable of retain operational control.
