Abstract:
A drive train for a vehicle includes a drive shaft, a transmission, a differential, and a wheel drive shaft. An axle drive gear wheel of the differential and a gear wheel of the transmission, which mesh with one another are at least partially in the oil sump in a splashing fashion. An end plate has a bearing retainer for receiving a bearing. The efficiency of the drive train is increased and splashing losses are avoided by the end plate, which has a flange-like circumferential region extending radially in the direction of the oil sump. At least one of the end plate or the circumferential region is or are formed to divide the oil sump into a first and a second oil sump region.
