Abstract

A drive train including an internal combustion engine with a crankshaft, and having a spur gear arrangement with at least one transmission input shaft that is coupled to the crankshaft by a friction clutch. A clutch plate within a housing of the friction clutch is connected in a rotationally locked manner to the at least one transmission input shaft and includes a centrifugal force pendulum. To accommodate the centrifugal force pendulum in the drive train in a space saving manner, the centrifugal force pendulum is situated on the at least one transmission input shaft at an axial distance from the clutch plate.
