The shafts comprise respective sets of toothed wheels (6-13). The sets of toothed wheels are arranged in respective wheel planes. The toothed wheels and the shafts are arranged in such a manner that the sets of toothed wheels and/or the wheel planes form a closed chain. An electric machine is directly or indirectly coupled to the shafts.
