<div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="Development">Development</h2></div>

<p>During the development of <a href="Al-Khalid_tank" title="Al-Khalid tank">Type 90-II/Al-Khalid</a> (also known as MBT-2000) in the 1980s, the gearbox and engine were originally imported from Germany, but this plan was abandoned due to a Western arms embargo. The <a href="Powertrain" title="Powertrain">powertrain</a> instead was sourced from Ukraine, the same for most Chinese export vehicles at the time.<sup id="cite_ref-4" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-4"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>4<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup>

</p><p>China eventually developed domestic powertrains, which led to the creation of the MBT-3000 program for export customers. MBT-3000 was the successor of the Type-90II (MBT-2000) export tank.<sup id="cite_ref-ModernWeaponry_3-1" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-ModernWeaponry-3"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>3<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> The MBT-3000 project later named as VT-4 began development in 2009 as a co-operation with the <a href="Inner_Mongolia_First_Machinery_Group_Corporation" title="Inner Mongolia First Machinery Group Corporation">First Inner Mongolia Machinery Factory</a> and other companies.<sup id="cite_ref-ModernWeaponry_3-2" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-ModernWeaponry-3"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>3<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup>

</p>

<div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="Design">Design</h2></div>

<p>The VT-4 shares many subsystems technology and features from other latest Chinese main battle tanks such as <a href="Type_96_tank#Type_96B" title="Type 96 tank">Type 96B</a> and <a href="Type_99_tank#Type_99A" title="Type 99 tank">Type 99A</a>.

<div class="mw-heading mw-heading3"><h3 id="Armament">Armament</h3></div>

<p>The VT-4 has a <a href="2A46_125_mm_gun" title="2A46 125 mm gun">ZPT-98A</a> 125 mm smoothbore gun capable of firing <a href="Kinetic_energy_penetrator" title="Kinetic energy penetrator">APFSDS</a>, <a href="High-explosive_anti-tank" title="High-explosive anti-tank">HEAT</a> and HE rounds and gun-launched <a href="Anti-tank_guided_missile" title="Anti-tank guided missile">anti-tank guided missiles</a>. There is also a <a href="Remote_controlled_weapon_station" title="Remote controlled weapon station">remote controlled weapon station</a> on the turret armed with a 12.7 mm heavy machine gun.
