Abstract
A drive axle for a motor vehicle includes two vehicle wheels, a first shaft by which a first of the vehicle wheels can be driven and a second shaft by which the second vehicle wheel can be driven. The drive axle also includes a first electric motor having a first stator and a first rotor, a differential gear by which the shafts can be driven and, via the shafts, the vehicle wheels can be driven by the first rotor of the first electric motor, and a second electric motor having a second stator and a second rotor. Only one of the shafts is assigned a clutch, by means of which the one shaft can be connected to the second rotor in a torque-transmitting manner, bypassing the other shaft and the differential gear.
