Disclosed is a transmission having an input shaft coupled to a motor unit on one side of the transmission and a braking device located on the other side of the unit. Planetary gear trains are located together on one side of the gear box with shafts coupled to the drive wheels or tracks extending through the braking unit on one side and through the gear box on the other. The gear box is connected to the planetary gear train by an output shaft and housing which is also connected to the braking device. Finally, a steering device is located within the transmission housing and serves to controllably interconnect the planetary gear of the planetary gear trains. This advantageously permits the brake unit to be mounted outside of the transmission housing which includes the planetary gear trains, the gear box and the steering device.
