A transmission 1 which is pre-eminently suitable for an electric and/or hybrid drive has an input 3 which can be connected to an electromotor/generator 5, and an output 7 which can be connected to a load 9. The transmission 1 has two parallel transmission paths 11, 13 between the input and output, first coupling means 15 being present in the first transmission path 11 and second coupling means 17 being present in the second transmission path 13. Furthermore, a gear reduction is present in at least either of the two transmission paths. The first coupling means 15 are arranged such that they are not capable of dissipating significant power and the second coupling means 17 are arranged such that they are capable indeed of dissipating significant power.
