The invention relates to a power train for a driven, steerable axle of a motor vehicle. In order to reduce the turning radius of the vehicle, the drive train comprises a left drive shaft (2) connected in a driving manner to a left steerable wheel (1), a right drive shaft (4) connected in a driving manner to a right steerable wheel (3), and a drive unit (5) arranged between the drive shafts (2, 4) for driving the drive shafts (2, 4), wherein said drive shafts (2, 4) are each constructed as an articulated shaft with a proximal articulation (6) and a distal articulation (7) relative to the wheel and wherein said articulations (6, 7) each have at least one axis of rotation oriented identically for all articulations (6, 7), characterized in that the drive unit (5) is constructed to transfer a torque generated by an electric motor to the drive shafts (2, 4); and has a suspension from the vehicle body that allows the drive unit (5) to be rotated with respect to the body about a pivot axis parallel to the identically oriented axes of rotation.
