A dual clutch transmission for a motor vehicle provided with gearwheels sets that are shiftable via switching elements, which form in particular exactly eight wheel planes, which are respectively assigned to a first sub-transmission and to a second sub-transmission, among which each sub-transmission is provided with an input shaft and both sub-transmissions are provided with a common output shaft. The input shafts, which are coaxial to each other, can be alternately activated via a load-shiftable clutch, and the odd forward gears are assigned to the first sub-transmission and the even forward gears are assigned to the second sub-transmission, which can be shifted during a gear shift by means of the switching elements.
