A transmission includes at least one primary transmission unit. The at least one primary transmission unit includes an input shaft having a first rotation axis, an output shaft having a second rotation axis, and a first layshaft having a third rotation axis. The input shaft, the output shaft, and the first layshaft are parallel. The first rotation axis lies in a first plane, the second rotation axis lies in a second plane, and the third rotation axis lies in a third plane. The first, the second, and the third planes are parallel. The first, the second and the third planes are orthogonal to a transmission central plane. The first rotation axis is disposed in the transmission central plane. The second plane is between the first and the third planes.
