Abstract

A dual-clutch transmission for a motor vehicle, with gear wheel sets engageable via shift elements, with the gear wheel sets forming particularly precisely eight wheel planes, each of which is allocated to a first sub-transmission and a second sub-transmission, of which each sub-transmission has an input shaft and both sub-transmissions have a common output shaft. The input shafts, which are coaxial with respect to one another, can each be activated in an alternating manner via a power-shift clutch, and the even forward gears are allocated to the first sub-transmission and the odd forward gears are allocated to the second sub-transmission, which can be engaged upon a gear change by way of the shift elements.
