Abstract

A gearing arrangement that offers a new way to operate an electric motor at a favorable operating point is provided. To this end there is proposed a gearing arrangement (1) for an electric motor (6) of a vehicle (2), including an input interface (5) for coupling to the electric motor (6) and including an output interface (7), such that a drive torque path runs between the input interface (5) and the output interface (7); including a first transmission gearing stage (10) with a first transmission ratio (i1), such that the drive torque path in a first operating state of the gear arrangement (1) runs via the first transmission gearing stage (10); and including a second transmission gearing stage (11), such that the drive torque path in a second operating state of the gear arrangement (1) runs via the second transmission gearing stage (11), the second transmission gearing stage (11) having a continuously variable transmission ratio (i1 . . . i2).
