Petter was formed in 1865 in Yeovil,
England. Lister was formed in 1867 in
Dursley, England. Lister achieved its early
strength in the development and marketing
of agricultural equipment, later expanding
into petrol and diesel engines and other
products, whereas Petter was always
principally an engine company.

LISTER PETTER
GROUP TODAY
LISTER PETTER was formed in 1986 when
Hawker Siddeley merged the two separate
companies of Lister and Petter.
Traditionally LISTER PETTER’s strongest
markets were in Commonwealth countries
where the names of LISTER PETTER,
Massey Ferguson, and Land Rover were
synonymous with quality, reliability and
ruggedness. LISTER PETTER engines were
widely used in industrial equipment, offhighway equipment and generating sets. It
had a strong position.
Research and development under
Hawker Siddleley enabled LISTER PETTER
to make significant advances in its engine
know-how. This culminated in its highly
successful ALPHA engine.
Under new ownership from 2004,
LISTER PETTER was given a new lease
of life as the LISTER PETTER Group. This
restructuring combines the existing LISTER
PETTER core brand and business with R. A.
Lister
Overseas Investments (based in
the USA, France and India), LISTER
PETTER Aftermarkets (British-based
remanufacturing) and joint ventures
with the Jinan Fuqiang Power Co.
(engine remanufacturing) and CNHTC
Sinotruk (China’s leading heavy truck
manufacturer).

THE COMPLETE
ENGINE RANGE
LISTER PETTER manufactures air-cooled
and liquid-cooled engines. These are
fuelled by diesel, biodiesel or natural gas/
propane (LPG).
In addition to the standards of quality, reliability and
durability that you expect from LISTER PETTER, we
offer products for a variety of different situations and
emissions markets. For example, the LPWS is the new
version of the popular ALPHA engine, engineered to
comply with stringent emissions regulations in Europe,
the USA and India. ALPHA is also available as a gas
engine.
In ascending order of power output capacity, our
range comprises the A Series, the L Series and the T
Series (all air-cooled); and the ALPHA (LPW) Series,
the DELTA Series, the GAMMA Series and the OMEGA
Series (all liquid-cooled).
AIR-COOLED DIESEL ENGINES
Air cooled engines use a fan to drive air across cooling fins on the engine. Air cooling is
more efficient than liquid cooling since less air volume is needed and the engines reach
operating temperature more quickly.
Half of all engine breakdowns (all makes) involve coolant leaks. Air-cooled engines do
not have this problem and are well suited to long periods of
unattended running. They can start and operate over a wider
temperature range than liquid-cooled engines (since coolant
can freeze or boil). Like for like, air cooled engines tend to
last longer. Above a certain power — according to design —
air cooling is not possible because there is too much heat to
remove.
Fewer manufacturers make air cooled engines than watercooled. LISTER PETTER offer several different ranges of aircooled engine: the A Series, the L Series and the popular T
Series.
6
AIR-COOLED DIESEL ENGINES
The AC1 and AD1, which won a Design
Council Award when first introduced,
are exceedingly durable, reliable and
easy to service.
The AC1 and AD1 feature a flywheelmounted cooling fan. As with all LISTER
PETTER air-cooled engines they can
start and operate over a wide range of
temperatures. They also meet the emission
requirements in the EU.
They are single-cylinder air-cooled diesel
engines, available in variable speed or
fixed speed builds (G-build) with a choice of
clockwise or anticlockwise rotation (AD1).
Lightweight (50kg) and very durable, they
provide power from 2.3 to 6.1 kW and have
a displacement of 304 cc and 367 cc.
These engines are well suited to
variable speed applications, such as offhighway equipment. They also can operate
continuously at 3000 r/min and have
numerous fixed speed applications, such
as generating sets, welding equipment,
pumps and military applications.
L SERIES: LT1 AND LV1
Available as both variable and fixed speed builds, these single-cylinder aircooled diesel engines provide power from 2.1
to 7.6 kW and, like the A Series, are durable,
reliable and easy to service.
These tough and robust engines have a flywheelmounted cooling fan and are able to operate over a
wide range of temperatures, the LT1 and LV2 have
a displacement of 408 cc and 477 cc, can operate
continuously at 3000 rpm and meet the emission
requirements in the EU.
Heavier than the A Series engines at 83kg, they are
well-suited to variable speed applications, such as offhighway equipment, as well as fixed speed applications
including pumps, generating sets, welding equipment,
and military applications.
7
AIR-COOLED DIESEL ENGINES
T SERIES: TR1, TR2, TR3
These popular and durable air-cooled diesel engines are available in both variable speed
and fixed speed builds (G-build) in 1, 2 or 3 cylinder versions, providing power from
6 to 29 kW.
T Series engines are incredibly tough
and durable, with reports of engines still in
continous operation after decades of use. Like
the A and L Series engines, they are fitted with
a flywheel-mounted cooling fan and can start
and operate over a wide range of temperatures.
TR engines are very reliable and easy to
service. They have a displacement of 773 cc
per cylinder and can operate continuously at
2500 rpm. The TR1 and TR2 meet the emission
requirements in the EU.
TR engines are well suited to variable speed
applications such as off-highway equipment,
and to fixed-speed applications such as
pumps and generating sets. They can also be
marinised on request.
LIQUID-COOLED ENGINES
LIQUID-COOLED ENGINES
These engines are cooled by liquid circulated around the engine and include LISTER
PETTER’s best-selling ALPHA range. The liquid is usually water, but it can be a suitable
coolant such as anti-freeze, or a combination of water and coolant.
When the engine is at operating
temperature, the coolant is redirected via
a heat exchanger, typically a radiator. A
fan — which may or may not be coupled to
the engine — pushes or pulls air through
the radiator and the liquid is cooled and
re-circulated. In marine engines the heat
exchanger is usually cooled by water drawn
in from outside the vessel.
The liquid-cooled diesel engines offered
by LISTER PETTER include the ALPHA,
DELTA, GAMMA, and OMEGA ranges.

ALPHA TECHNOLOGY
When LISTER PETTER developed the
ALPHA range it discovered a considerable
amount about fuel combustion in
compact high-speed engines. The
technology developed to create this most
fuel-flexibleof engines is known inside
and outside LISTER PETTER as ALPHA
Technology.
The LPWG range offers all the desirable
qualities you expect from ALPHA and has
the additional environmental benefit of
running on a very clean fuel. ALPHA gas is
used to power LISTER PETTER generating
sets in the LLD and GS ranges.

LIQUID-COOLED DIESEL AND BIODIESELENGINES
NEW ALPHA SERIES:
LPWS2, LPWS3,
LPWS4, LPWST4
The Alpha LPWS range was the first
engine to meet all of the current and
planned emission standards in the EU
and US. This has been achieved without
any electronics and without any change to
the engine envelope or the service parts
and with no significant change in cost and
without any loss of power.

The NEW ALPHA (LPWS) is the
emission compliant version of the
ALPHA engine. Closely based on
the LPW, it has the advantages of
ALPHA technology and is designed
for compliance with emissions
regulations in Europe and the USA.
The LPWS differs from the LPW in having
indirect injection, which involves injecting
the fuel into a pre-combustion chamber
prior to the compression ignition process.
The LPWS2, LPWS3 and LPWS4 variable
speed builds are fully compliant with
EU Stage 3A and USA EPA interim Tier
4 regulations. The fixed speed builds
at 3000 r/min also comply with India
GSR 448(E) legislation. For emissions

At a time of global concern to find
alternatives to highly polluting fuels,
LISTER PETTER has developed technology
to promote cleaner fuels and lower
emissions.
The popular ALPHA engine is available
as a model that runs on natural gas or
propane (LPWG; page 12), which are
among the cleanest hydrocarbon fuels.
Natural gas (methane) is available from
many sustainable and renewable sources
such as agricultural waste, landfill and
sewerage processing.
In 2007 LISTER PETTER introduced
the ALPHA BIO (LPWS
Bio; page 11), which
14

runs on pure biodiesel (B100), a carbonneutral* fuel. B100 is 100% bio-diesel.
Most engines require blending of diesel
and bio-diesel (e.g. Bio=10% bio/90%
diesel.
To complement this engine LISTER
PETTER also offers a unit for the
production of biodiesel, the Bio Rig
(illustrated), produces biodiesel from a
range of straight vegetable oils (SVO).
With land use under increasing pressure
globally, the Bio Rig has potenial to
produce biodiesel from recycled vegetable
oils (RVO). It can itself be powered by
biodiesel, using the ALPHA BIO engine,
thus closing the loop of fuel selfsufficiency.
As a customer of LISTER PETTER, you can expect the attention to detail on
which our reputation is built. Our Applications Engineering team can assist
our customers to engineer in LISTER PETTER engines into their products and
designs.

LISTER PETTER offers remanufacturing using state-of-the-art technology.
Engines at the end of their economic life are stripped to components in
quality-controlled factory conditions. Parts are tested and worn components
are replaced or remanufactured. From these components ‘as-new’ engines
are built. In addition to its own products, LISTER PETTER remanufactures
engines for many famous brands.
The service is of particular
importance at a time when
sustainability is an increasingly
high-profile issue, re-use often
being preferable to buying a new
product. Remanufacturing will be
of especial interest to commercial
clients who have fleets of enginepowered equipment that needs to
be kept continuously in service; and
those who manufacture engines or
engine-powered products.
Remanufacturing is different
from repairing, rebuilding or
reconditioning, since the resultant
engine is equivalent to a new
product. Worn engines are stripped
to their base components, cleaned,
examined and tested. The surfaces
of some components are repaired;
16
other parts are replaced; and a
new (reman) product is built to
the necessary standard using a
mix of old and new components
and supplied with a new product
warranty.
Remanufacturing is a factorycontrolled process under ISO
9001. This means that the
customer gets a quality product
that operates to the same
standard as a new engine.
