Abstract
The invention relates to a transmission for vehicles, in particular for automobiles with front wheel drive, which have a driving motor mounted transverse to the longitudinal direction of the vehicle, whose drive shaft drives the primary shaft of an infinitely variable belt drive having a secondary shaft driven in the same direction of rotation by means of a drive belt and mounted coaxially with the drive pinion of a differential gear provided with output shafts. A reversing and reduction gearing, designed as a planetary gearset, is mounted coaxially with the secondary shaft of the belt drive and connected through its input member to the secondary shaft and through its output member to the drive pinion of the differential gearing, while its reactive section is fixed to the casing. As a result, a very compact transmission unit is achieved, having in forward drive position an output rotation in the same direction as the input rotation.
