By the mid 1960s , French truck maker Berliet had
seen
its market share
decline with the creation of Saviem, a subsidiary of
State owned
Renault. It also lost important military
contracts and sought
membership of a more dynamic and powerful group.
In June 1967, Citroën bought Berliet and launched
The Type K Dauphin
truck which was based on the Berliet Stradair albeit
with a shortened
nose and using Citroën's high pressure braking
system as used in the
Belphégor.
After a short career wearing the Citroën Berliet
badge, the Dauphin
continued as a Berliet.
In 1976, PSA sold Berliet to Renault.
