Abstract
A brake ( ) is arranged between a drive motor ( ) and reduction steps ( ). By arranging the reduction steps ( ) directly adjacent one another, adequate cooling of one of the reduction steps is achieved. The wheel bearing ( ) is located radially outside but axially in the area of the first reduction step ( ). By this arrangement, a very compact final drive, is thereby created, in the axial direction, characterized by a favorable efficiency and ease of service.
