The ZFB-05 is designed and manufactured by the Shaanxi Baoji Special Vehicles Co., Ltd, a private vehicle company established in 1983 as the Baoji Special Vehicles Factory, then privatized in 2007.[2] Historically, most Chinese military equipment are produced by state-owned enterprises, but due to the strategy of Military-Civil Fusion, many private and civilian enterprises entered the military market, producing weaponry and equipment for the People's Liberation Army.[3]
The vehicle is based on the chassis of the NanjingNJ2046 light utility vehicle, which pis a licensed copy of the Iveco40.10WM. It features an all-steel armored hull[4] which is, according to the official website, proof against 7.62*39mm standard ammunition fired from a Type 81 light machine gun in close range.[5] Additional applique armor is also available, as well as an optional NBC protection system. However, an incident in which Chinese peacekeepers in a ZFB-05 were attacked in Haiti demonstrated that the armor of the vehicle is not resistant to armor-piercing bullets and therefore not suitable to high-intensity combat environments.[1]
The main armament of the ZFB-05 is a 12.7mm heavy machine gun mounted in a turret on the roof of the vehicle, with a shield to provide frontal protection to the gunner.[4] Some vehicles are observed with other armaments such as a 7.62mm machine gun, a 23mm autocannon, or a 35mm automatic grenade launcher.[1] The vehicle is powered by a SOFIM 8142.43 4-cylinder turbocharged diesel engine, which produces an output of 117hp;[4] another available engine is the SOFIM 8142.45, which produces approximately 127hp.[5]
