Abstract

Gear arrangement for a vehicle, having an input shaft, a layshaft, an output shaft connected to a drive wheel of the vehicle, a plurality of shiftable first gear wheel sets which connect the input shaft and the layshaft and which are each associated with at least one gear stage, and a machine gear connected to one of the shafts and into which the drive torque of an electric machine can be introduced. The first gear wheel sets form a first part-gear mechanism, wherein at least one second shiftable gear wheel set connects the layshaft and the output shaft and forms a second part-gear mechanism, wherein the at least one second gear wheel set is associated with at least one gear stage and wherein the machine gear is arranged in an axial direction between the first part-gear mechanism and the second part-gear mechanism.
