A motor vehicle (1) includes a plurality of wheels (2), a propulsion motor (3), and a transmission architecture (4) to transmit the output power of the propulsion motor (3) to the wheels (2) and comprising a
drive shaft (6) driven by the output power of the propulsion motor (3), a gearbox (5) having at least one input shaft (7), one output shaft (16), and at least one engagement device (17, 17') operable to engage a relative
gear ratio between the input shaft (7) and the output shaft (16), a
clutch (21) selectively controllable to connect the
drive shaft (6) to the input shaft (7), a drive
assembly (22) comprising a rod (23) coupled to the engagement device (17') and an
actuator device (24) configured to translate the rod (23) along a straight axis (H) between a first position, where the rod (23) leads the engagement device (17') to engage the
gear ratio, and a second position distinct from the first position, a
parking brake (25) comprising a first member (26) fixed at one among the input shaft and the output shaft (7, 16), and a second member (27) movable between a locking position, in which the second member (27) cooperates with the first member (26) to lock the first member (26), thereby locking the transmission architecture (4), and a release position, in which the first and second members (26, 27) are spaced apart, characterized in that the drive
assembly (22) further comprises a
locking mechanism (28) configured to lead the second member (27) into the locking position in response to a translation of the rod (23) into the second position.
