Abstract

A dual clutch transmission for a motor vehicle, with switchable gearwheel sets which form in particular exactly eight wheel planes (RE-1 through RE-8), which are assigned to a first and to a second sub-transmission. The sub-transmissions are provided with at least one input shaft and with a common output shaft and the input shafts can be alternately activated via a load-switchable clutch. Furthermore, the odd forward gears are assigned to the sub-transmission and even forward gears are assigned to the other sub-transmission, which are switchable by corresponding switching elements. At least one gearwheel set of one sub-transmission can be coupled with a switching element to the other sub-transmission.
