Looks like they had modified the chassis to include the rear ramp, a departure from usual Chinese practice of just swing door.

This would suggest a front placed engine and transmission and a more accesible and probably larger and more comfortable workspace for the crew. Both front placed engine and rear door could lead to better crew survivability in case of a frontal hit.

More stuff from the same blog.

From the stuff posted there before, I think it's pretty legit, sans whether the PLA will adopt it. I also don't think we've seen the claimed new IFV version yet, so that also remains to be seen.

Northwestern Gobi, an artillery brigade accurate firing exercise is underway.

Note the target on the right. (That's quite some accuracy.:oops:)

PCL-181 also joined the exercise as it's debut.

Direct aim strike. The hull is compact that the gun leans to the front of the drive cabin, which makes it safe for rapid-reaction direct aim.
