Abstract
The disclosure relates to a drive train for a motor vehicle containing an internal combustion engine, a transmission connected downstream thereof, drive wheels and a differential arranged between the drive wheels and the transmission. In order to eliminate or at least reduce the vibrational eigenmodes behind the transmission, a centrifugal pendulum is assigned adjacent to the differential.
