Abstract
A drive device for a motor vehicle, having an internal combustion engine that outputs to a gearbox or transmission. A plurality of gear ratios steps provides shiftable driving gears from a starting gear to a highest driving gear. The gearbox has at least one gear ratio step that provides an overrun gear, which cannot be engaged in the traction mode, but only in an overrun mode, in which the vehicle drags the internal combustion engine.
