Abstract
An axle drive for a vehicle includes at least one electric machine (1) as a drive and a transmission (2), which is coupled via an output differential (3) to output shafts (4, 5) for driving vehicle wheels. An overload decoupling device (6) is arranged between the output differential (3) and the output shafts (4, 5) with respect to a torque flow.

1-12. (canceled)
An axle drive for a vehicle, comprising:
- an electric machine (1) as a drive;
- a transmission (2) coupled via an output differential (3) to output shafts (4, 5) for driving vehicle wheels;
- and
- an overload decoupling device (6) arranged between the output differential (3) and the output shafts (4, 5) with respect to a torque flow,
- wherein the overload decoupling device (6) decouples the torque flow between the output differential (3) and the output shafts (4, 5) when an overload occurs.
