is connected downstream of two planetary gears 5 a and 5 b which have identical dimensions and hence split the power approximately in half however unlike the previously described embodiment the two planetary gears 5 a and 5 b which form the input side planetary stage 4 that is connected with the drive shaft 2 are asymmetrically connected as a result the differential gear stage 9 equalizes not only the torque difference between the two connected sun shafts 7 and 8 but u2014 due to the asymmetric connection of the planetary stage 4 u2014 also contributes to the total gear ratio of the gear in this case the planet carrier 6 is not common to both planetary gears 5 a and 5 b in the asymmetric connection of the planetary stage 4 with the differential gear stage 9 the hollow wheel 17 of the planetary gear 5 b is arranged on the input side with the planet carrier 18 that is secured to the case and with the output side sun wheel 19 in the other planetary gear 5 a the planet carrier 20 on the input side is arranged with the hollow wheel 21 that is secured to the case and with the output side sun wheel 22 one sun wheel 19 is here connected with the hollow wheel.
