The PLZ-07 or Type 07 is a Chinese 122 mm self-propelled artillery made by the China North Industries Group Corporation (NORINCO). The PLZ-07 self-propelled howitzer was first unveiled to the public during the military parade celebrating 60th anniversary of the PLA on 1 October 2009. The PLZ-07 was developed to replace the older Type 89, Type 85 and Type 70/70-1 122 mm self-propelled artillery systems. The PLZ07 122mm tracked self-propelled gun mounts a 122 mm gun armed turret on the PLZ45 hull. The vehicle weighs 22.5 tons fully loaded and carries 40 rounds of ammunition. It is 6.66m high, 3.28m wide and 2.5m high to the turret roof. It carries a crew of five and its 440 kW diesel engine gives it a top road speed of 65 km/hr and a maximum road range of 500 km.
