1909 Berliet Type M – Rare Truck with a Unique History

Описание: Step back to 1909 and discover the Berliet Type M, one of the first truly heavy-duty trucks from France. With its 4.5-liter 4-cylinder engine, 22 horsepower, and a chain-driven transmission, this truck could carry up to 7,700 pounds while reaching speeds of 15 miles per hour — an impressive figure for its time.

The Berliet Type M was not only a workhorse of the industrial era but also a symbol of innovation. It played a key role in early military programs, benefiting from government purchase bonuses, and became a vital connection between railroads and local industries.

Only a few hundred examples were produced between 1909 and 1913, making this truck a true rarity. One surviving model has been carefully restored and recognized as a historical monument, keeping the legacy of Marius Berliet alive.
