Abstract

An electric drive for an electric or hybrid vehicle has an electric motor, with which a vehicle wheel is drivable, for instance via an articulated shaft. The the electric drive is embodied additionally with a mechanically actuatable wheel brake, which is actuatable by the electric motor selectively for driving the vehicle wheel via a shiftable distributor gear. The invention has the advantage that the electric motor provided for driving the vehicle wheel is simultaneously used for actuating the wheel brake (24) as well.
