A drive train for an electric vehicle, including at least one transmission, with at least one power electronics system and a housing. A transmission compartment and a power electronics system compartment are provided in the housing in particular adjacently situated horizontally. The transmission and/or at least two gearwheels for forming at least one gear stage of the transmission is situated in the transmission compartment and the power electronics system is situated in the power electronics system compartment. The transmission compartment and the power electronics system compartment are separated from one another by a partition wall. The transmission includes an oil sump, which in particular is formed by the housing, and a collection container, so that during operation of the transmission, transmission oil present in the oil sump may be spun upwardly by at least one of the gearwheels and thus be supplied to the collection container.

Drive train

A method for controlling a motor vehicle having at least one park lock. A drive train of the motor vehicle has a drive motor, wheel, and a transmission. An operating element actuates the park lock, which can assume a blocking position, in which the park lock blocks the drive train and/or a part of the drive train, and a release position. After actuation of the operating element, the park lock is switched from the release position into the blocking position (or vice versa). Here, the speed of the motor vehicle is determined. After actuation of the operating element and if the park lock assumes the release position beforehand, it is checked whether the speed is greater than a predefined first threshold value. If this check was successful, a first warning signal is produced; and the switching of the park lock into the blocking position is performed.

Method for controlling a motor vehicle having a park lock

An oil pump configuration for a motor vehicle includes an oil pump having a pump part and an electric pump motor, wherein the pump part is operatively connected to the electric pump motor. The pump part and/or the electric pump motor can be mounted to a housing which at least partially delimits an oil chamber. Sealing problems at the pump part are prevented and the required installation space is low because the pump part can be mounted inside the housing and the electric pump motor can be mounted from the outside to the housing.
