Abstract
A transmission for transmitting torque from two coaxially arranged electric drive machines to two wheels of a drive axle of a motor vehicle, wherein each of the drive machines is connected to a wheel of the drive axle via a speed-reduction sub-transmission for transmitting torque. The sub-transmissions have coaxial drive shafts, coaxial intermediate shafts and coaxial outputs shafts, wherein, on both sub-transmissions, a first spur-gear-toothing stage of the drive shaft with the intermediate shaft is arranged closer to the assigned electric drive machine than a second spur-gear-toothing stage of the intermediate shaft with the output shaft.

A transmission for transmitting torque from two coaxially arranged electric drive machines to two wheels of a drive axle of a motor vehicle, wherein:
- each of the drive machines is connected to a wheel of the drive axle via a speed-reduction sub-transmission for transmitting torque,
- the sub-transmissions have coaxial drive shafts, coaxial intermediate shafts and coaxial outputs shafts, and
- on both sub-transmissions, a first spur-gear-toothing stage of the drive shaft with the intermediate shaft is arranged, in relation to an axial direction, closer to the assigned electric drive machine than a second spur-gear-toothing stage of the intermediate shaft with the output shaft,
- wherein each intermediate shaft comprises a main axial rolling bearing configured to be arranged radially within and axially in the region of a toothed ring of an intermediate-shaft toothed gearwheel of the first spur-gear-toothing stage, the main bearing being received in an axially and radially extending cutout of the toothed ring and being fixed in a rotationally conjoint manner to a toothed-ring inner lateral surface,
- wherein the two coaxial intermediate shafts are mounted axially overlapping and one in the other by at least one needle bearing and the transmission is formed without a central radial bearing for the intermediate shafts, and
- wherein the two first spur-gear-toothing stages and the two second spur-gear-toothing stages are configured in an oppositely helical manner.
