Abstract
The invention relates to an arrangement for driving a wheel of a vehicle comprising a planetary gear set, which in turn comprises a planet carrier. At least one surface of the planet carrier has a toothed structure and extends in such a way that the toothed structure is exposed in the axial direction of the planet carrier. The arrangement comprises a power transmission part and at least one surface of the power transmission part has a toothed structure that corresponds to the toothed structure of the planet carrier surface and an extent that corresponds to the extent of the planet carrier surface. The toothed structures of the planet carrier and the power transmission part intermesh with one another. The invention also relates to the planet carrier per se.
