The armoured howitzer 2000, or PzH 2000 for short, was adopted by the German armed forces in 1998. The self-propelled armoured piece of artillery is manufactured by Krauss-Maffei Wegmann (KMW) and Rheinmetall and has also been procured by other European NATO member states. With an unladen weight of just under 50 tons, the artillery piece reaches speeds of 60 km/h on the road and 45 km/h off-road. This is with an operational range of up to 420 kilometres.

Schuco is going to produce a miniature model of this howitzer 2000 to a scale of 1:87. Military models come with a metal body and chassis. As is expected of Schuco models, a number of key features have been reproduced exactly with the greatest attention to detail.
