Abstract
A transmission and differential gearing with a housing, with an input shaft and two output shafts arranged coaxially with respect to the input shaft, wherein a transmission section and a differential section are provided, wherein the transmission section has two planet stages, namely an input stage and a load stage, wherein the sun wheel of the input stage is actively connected to the input shaft, wherein the load stage has a ring gear fixed to the housing, and the sun wheel of the load stage can be or is actively connected via a web to at least one planet wheel of the input stage, and wherein at least one planet wheel of the load stage is actively connected via a web to an input shaft of the differential section. The requirement for construction space is reduced and the use flexibility increased by the fact that the ring gear of the input stage can be coupled actively and for conjoint rotation to, or can be decoupled from, a planet carrier of the planet wheel of the input stage or to, or from, a planet carrier of the planet wheel of the load stage via a correspondingly provided and/or arranged coupling device.
