ABSTRACT:
The drive system for a motor vehicle having a front axle and a plurality of rear axles, which are driven or can be driven, consists of a central differential, an inter-axle differential, following the central differential in the direction of the power flow, between the front axle and a first rear axle, and a drive for two further rear axles, and axle differentials in each of the axles. In order to have as short and inexpensive a construction as possible and in order to use as few connecting shafts as possible, the central differential is constructionally combined with the inter-axle differential between front axle and first rear axle and with the axle differential of the first rear axle, and the central differential is arranged behind and the inter-axle differential is arranged in front of the axle differential.
