  "textContent": "The drive has a drive shaft, and two variator sets, each with drive pulley, take-off pulley, and friction plates. The variator sets (12,14) have different central diameters (d1,d2). The drive pulleys have separate take-off elements (34,36) to drive the wheels of one vehicle axle. The different diameters are arranged dependent upon the different axle load distribution of the vehicle. The drive shaft (16) drives the two axially outer drive pulleys (24,26), and the take-off elements are located on the axially inner drive pulleys (20,22). The 'larger' variator set (12) drives the vehicle axle with higher momentum.",
