Abstract

The invention relates to a transmission (100) for a hybrid drive arrangement which can be coupled to two drive assemblies (7, 8), comprising an input shaft (10), and an output shaft (11), at least one first, second and third shifting element (SE1, SE2, SE3), and at least one first planetary gear (5). The input shaft (10) can be coupled to a first transmission shaft (16) by means of the first shifting element (SE1). The first transmission shaft (16) can be coupled to the sun gear of the planetary gear (5) by means of the second shifting element (SE2) and the ring gear of the planetary gear (5) is coupled to the first transmission shaft (16). The input shaft (10) can be coupled to the sun gear of the planetary gear (5) by means of the third shifting element (SE3). The output shaft (11) is coupled to the planet carrier of the planetary gear (5).
