A wheel head transmission () comprising a first and second shafts (W, W) which are connected to one another via a planetary transmission (PG). The wheel head transmission () comprises first and second planetary stages (P, P), which include a first element (E, E), a second element (E, E) and a third element (E, E). The first element (E) of the first planetary stage (P) is connected to the first shaft (W) for conjoint rotation, the second element (E) of the first planetary stage (P) and the third element (E) of the second planetary stage (P) are connected to one another and the second shaft (W) for conjoint rotation. The third element (E) of the first planetary stage (P) and the first element (E) of the second planetary stage (P) are connected together for conjoint rotation, and the second element (E) of the second planet stage (P) is immobilized.

A drive assemblyfor a vehicle includes a prime mover housing sectionand a transmission housing section. The prime mover housing sectionencompasses a dry space, and the transmission housing sectionencompasses an oil space. The oil spaceis at least partially filled with an oil. A prime mover shaftextends from the dry spaceinto the oil space. A partitionseparates the oil spacefrom the dry space. A sealing deviceseals the prime mover shaftwith respect to the partition. The sealing deviceis arranged in the partition. A connecting unitprovides a fluidic connection between and compensates for pressure differences between the oil spaceand the dry space

An axle assembly for a drive device for the road wheels of a vehicle includes: a stationary housing having a housing interior at least partially filled with a lubricating liquid; axle housings connected to the stationary housing and configured to permit axles of the vehicle to pass towards the road wheels; a venting bore in one of the axle housings configured to allow pressurized air to escape from the stationary housing; and at least one rib sized and positioned in the housing interior of the stationary housing so as to prevent migration of the lubricating liquid out of the venting bore.
