Abstract
A brake (15) is arranged between a drive motor (1) and reduction steps (3, 11). By arranging the reduction steps (3, 11) directly adjacent one another, adequate cooling of one of the reduction steps is achieved. The wheel bearing (13) is located radially outside but axially in the area of the first reduction step (3). By this arrangement, a very compact final drive, is thereby created, in the axial direction, characterized by a favorable efficiency and ease of service.
