In the differential gear (6), the ring gear (3) of the bevel gear (2) and the pinion (1) meshing therewith are arranged on the side of the bevel gear carrier (4) of the bevel gear (2) that is turned away from the center of the differential gear (6) of the distribution gear. Put simply, the pinion (1) and the ring gear (3) of the bevel gear (2) are arranged "mirrored" compared to a conventional differential gear, i.e. on the "other side" of the bevel gear carrier (4) of the bevel gear (2). This permits a rigid pinion shaft bearing that is optimized for noise and efficiency.
