A transmission device () of a vehicle for distributing a driving torque of a transmission input shaft () to at least two transverse vehicle shafts (X;Y;Z;). Between the transmission input shaft () and a transmission output shaft () gear elements (to) are disposed in a housing () for the purpose of implementing different gear ratios. One of the vehicle axles (X;Y;Z) extends through an inner space () of the housing (). In a cross-sectional area disposed perpendicular to the longitudinal axis of the transmission device (), in which area the transverse vehicle shaft (X;Y;Z) that is guided through the housing () is disposed, at least part of an electrical device (), which is mounted to the housing side, and/or at least part of a temperature control unit (), which is mounted to the housing side, are provided.
