The input shaft ( 10 ) can be coupled to a first transmission shaft ( 16 ) by means of the first shifting element (SE 1 ), the first transmission shaft ( 16 ) can be coupled to the ring gear of the first planetary gear ( 5 ) by means of the second shifting element (SE 2 ), the first transmission shaft ( 16 ) can be coupled to a second transmission shaft ( 17 ) by means of the third shifting element (SE 3 ), the first transmission shaft ( 16 ) can be coupled to the fourth transmission shaft (SE 4 ) by means of a third transmission shaft ( 18 ), the output shaft ( 11 ) can be coupled to the third transmission shaft ( 18 ) by means of the fifth shifting element (SE 5 ) and the output shaft ( 11 ) can be coupled to the planet carrier of the planetary gear ( 5 ). The second transmission shaft ( 17 ) can be coupled to the sun gear of the planetary gear ( 5 ) by means of the sixth shifting element (SE 6 ).
