Drive apparatus for a motor vehicle, having - a first drive unit, a second drive unit and a wheel axle having a first partial axle and a second partial axle, wherein - the partial axles (9, 11) are at least partially arranged in longitudinal direction relative to an axis of rotation of the first partial axle and/or the second partial axle on opposite sides of the first drive unit and the second drive unit, wherein - the first partial axle is coupled with the first drive unit and the second partial axle is coupled with the second drive unit in a torque-transmitting manner, wherein - the first drive unit and the second drive unit are arranged axially parallel to one another and in direct succession in the longitudinal direction of the motor vehicle, and wherein - the drive apparatus has a first gear for transmitting torque between the first drive unit and the first partial axle and a second gear for transmitting torque between the second drive unit and the second partial axle, characterised in that - the first gear and the second gear are each designed as spur gears, each with two transmission stages (45, 47, 49, 51), wherein - a displacement of the first partial axle relative to the first drive unit in a transverse direction relative to the axis of rotation of the first partial axle can be effected by a specific rotation of a first of the two transmission stages (45, 47) and a specific rotation of a second of the two transmission stages (45, 47) of the first gear, and/or in that a displacement of the second partial axle relative to the second drive unit in a transverse direction relative to the axis of rotation of the second partial axle can be effected by a specific rotation of a first of the two transmission stages (49, 51) and a specific rotation of a second of the two transmission stages (49, 51) of the second gear. - a first drive unit, a second drive unit and a wheel axle having a first partial axle and a second partial axle, wherein - the partial axles (9, 11) are at least partially arranged in longitudinal direction relative to an axis of rotation of the first partial axle and/or the second partial axle on opposite sides of the first drive unit and the second drive unit, wherein - the first partial axle is coupled with the first drive unit and the second partial axle is coupled with the second drive unit in a torque-transmitting manner, wherein - the first drive unit and the second drive unit are arranged axially parallel to one another and in direct succession in the longitudinal direction of the motor vehicle, and wherein - the drive apparatus has a first gear for transmitting torque between the first drive unit and the first partial axle and a second gear for transmitting torque between the second drive unit and the second partial axle, characterised in that - the first gear and the second gear are each designed as spur gears, each with two transmission stages (45, 47, 49, 51), wherein - a displacement of the first partial axle relative to the first drive unit in a transverse direction relative to the axis of rotation of the first partial axle can be effected by a specific rotation of a first of the two transmission stages (45, 47) and a specific rotation of a second of the two transmission stages (45, 47) of the first gear, and/or in that a displacement of the second partial axle relative to the second drive unit in a transverse direction relative to the axis of rotation of the second partial axle can be effected by a specific rotation of a first of the two transmission stages (49, 51) and a specific rotation of a second of the two transmission stages (49, 51) of the second gear.
