The invention relates to a dual
clutch transmission comprising two clutches (K1, K2), the input sides of which are connected to an input shaft (w_an) and the output sides of which are connected to one of two transmission input shafts (w_k1, w_k2) that are arranged coaxially relative to each other. The dual
clutch transmission comprises at least two countershafts (w_v1, w_v2) which are arranged coaxially relative to each other and an output shaft (w_ab) which is coaxially arranged relative to the
drive shaft (w_an), wherein several gear planes (I, II, III, IV, V) and at least one reverse gear gear plane (R) are provided, to which several switching elements (A, B, C, D, E, F, H) for switching idler gears (3, 5, 7, 10, 11) and / or shaft connections are associated so that several forward gears (V1, V2, V3, V4, V5, V6, V7) and at least one reverse gear (R1) can be shifted. According to the invention, five gear planes (I, II, III, IV, V) are arranged in such a manner that at least seven forward gears (V1, V2, V3, V4, V5, V6, V7) can be shifted under load.
