- Abstract
The article discusses the impact of World War I and its aftermath on French automobile manufacturers Renault and Berliet. The war's requirements for armored vehicles and military trucks considerably boosted both firms' production, physical size, and labor forces, while post-war markets were flooded by ex-military vehicles and used American trucks. Subsequently both firms resisted later government orders for armaments production prior to World War II, though they willingly produced vehicles under German occupation. Both firms were at least briefly nationalized after the second war.
