Abstract
In an arrangement for transferring brake torques of a vehicle drive line including a differential transmission having a housing, a driving pinion and two wheel shafts supported in the housing and a brake structure arranged adjacent the housing, a brake member is provided for rotation with the driving pinion and a braking member is supported by the housing of the differential transmission for engaging the brake member when the brake structure is actuated.
