The WZ752 armoured medical evacuation vehicle was developed in the early 1990s as a successor to the WZ751. It was designed to treat and evacuate combat casualties from armoured units while providing emergency care until the patients reach the frontline hospital. The vehicle was based on the hull of the ZSD89 (Type 89) armoured personnel carrier (APC), featuring an enlarged passenger compartment with a higher ceiling to allow medical staffs to stand in the compartment without difficulties.
