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 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 , 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 and a specific rotation of a second of the two transmission stages 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 and a specific rotation of a second of the two transmission stages 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 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 , 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 and a specific rotation of a second of the two transmission stages 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 and a specific rotation of a second of the two transmission stages of the second gear . <EOS>
