Abstract
A drive arrangement for a motor vehicle having a four-wheel drive establishable by connecting one wheel axle with another drivable wheel axle, wherein one wheel axle can be driven via an auxiliary drive shaft and a gear shift transmission, arranged in parallel with respect to its input shaft from an engine. This auxiliary drive shaft can be used for forming at least one gear transmission when the input shaft and the auxiliary drive shaft are brought into direct driving connection with one another by means of an auxiliary transmission. At least one of these two shafts can be clutched into driving connection with the auxiliary transmission. The clutch can be engaged only when the torque transmission in the gear shift transmission is interrupted or an interaxle differential is in effect that is connected between the two wheel axles.
