Engine Series
Waukesha manufactures five engine families — the ATGL, APG, VHP, VGF, and VSG. ATGL Engine Series Models
16V-AT27GL
Prefix Designations 12V-AT27GL
The prefix attached to an engine model indicates the number of cylinders (except ATGL and 8L-AT27GL
APG which states actual number): P = 16, L = 12, H = 8, F = 6.
• VHP L7042GL engine is a 12 cylinder engine 152 millimeter bore
• VGF P48 GL is a 16 cylinder engine
• 16V-AT27GL is a 16 cylinder engine
16 V150LTD
Numeric Designations
The numeric designation in each engine model name indicates the displacement of the 16 Cylinder Lean turbulent
combustion, draw-through
engine model in either English units of cubic inches or metric units of liters.
APG Engine Series Models
• The ATGL series is designated by a numeric indicator of the bore size in millimeters.
For example: the “27” of the 16V-AT27GL indicates a 275 millimeter bore. 16V150LTD
12V220GL
• The APG series is designated by a numeric indicator of the bore size in millimeters. 18V220GL
For example: the “150” of the 16V150LTD indicates a 152 millimeter bore.
7,040 in3 displacement
• The VHP series show a displacement in cubic inches. For example: the VHP L7042GL
indicates a displacement of 7,040 in3.

• The VGF and VSG series show a displacement in liters. For example: the VGF P48GL
VHP L 7042 GL
indicates a displacement of 48 liters. Turbocharged,
12 Cylinder
intercooled, lean burn
• The VSG F11GSI indicates a displacement of 11 liters.
