During the 2005 Beijing International Aviation Expo, NORINCO revealed a model of its latest PLZ05 155mm self-propelled gun-howitzer. It was speculated that NORINCO was developing an improved variant of its PLZ45 155mm self-propelled gun-howitzer, which was first introduced in the early 1990s. The development of the PLZ05 probably began in the late 1990s, and is probably close to complete by 2005.
在2005年北京国际航空博览会期间，中国北方工业总公司（NORINCO）展示了最新的PLZ05式155毫米自行榴弹炮模型。一般考虑中国北方工业总公司（NORINCO）正在发展它的PLZ45式155毫米自行榴弹炮一种改进型，在1990年早期内被首次介绍。PLZ05的发展在1990年后期中或许开始，而且或许到2005年之前接近了完成。

From the model it can be seen that the new artillery system is based on the full-track chassis and 155mm/45-calibre main gun of the PLZ45, but with a new enlarged turret that bears a resemblance to that of the Russian MSTA-S 2S19 152mm self-propelled howitzer. The new artillery system is almost certainly fitted with a Chinese copy of the 2S19’s fully automatic loading system, which has been proven to much more efficient and reliable compared to the Chinese indigenous semi-automatic loading system on the PLZ45 and Type 83.
从模型看，它能被看到新的火炮系统以全履带底盘和 155毫米/45倍口径PLZ45的主炮为基础，但是采用一个新的增大的炮塔，与俄国MSTA- S 2S19 152毫米自行榴弹炮相似。新的火炮系统几乎确定配备有2S19的一种中国仿造型完全自动装弹系统，已经被证明与在PLZ45和83式上的中国自行研制的半自动装填系统相比较更加有效率和可靠。

The PLZ05 artillery system, reported to have been under development since the late 1990s, bears some resemblance to the Russian MSTA-S 2S19 152mm self-propelled howitzer.
据传闻已经从1990年后期以后在发展中的PLZ05火炮系统，与俄国MSTA- S 2S19 152毫米自行榴弹炮有一些相似处。
