The PLZ-45 (also known as Type 88) 155 mm, 45 calibre self-propelled howitzer (categoried as gun-howitzer by the PLA) was developed by NORINCO in the early 1990s for the international market. The system was jointly developed by the 123 Factory, 127 Factory, 674 Factory and Beijing Univeristy of Science and Technology based on the Type 89 (PLL-01) towed 155 mm/45 calibre gun-howitzer.

In the 1997 international competition to provide Kuwaiti Army with a battalion (72 units) self-propelled artillery systems, the PLZ-45 surprisingly defeated US and Europe competitors to win the contract. This sale was a particularly telling assessment of the howitzer's capabilities since the Kuwaiti Army has the budget to purchase nearly whatever it wants. A battalion of howitzers were delivered to the Kuwait along with a full package of support, command and control, forward observer, and radar vehicles. In 2001, the Kuwaitis ordered an additional 74 howitzers due to its excellent performance.
