1. A powertrain for a vehicle, the powertrain comprising:
at least one propulsion unit;
a transmission connected to the at least one propulsion unit;
a propeller shaft connected to the transmission; and
at least one drive shaft of a rear axle, which at least one drive shaft is connected to the propeller shaft, so that the propeller shaft extends between the transmission and the at least one drive shaft,
wherein the at least one propulsion unit is arranged in a position between the transmission and the rear axle in a longitudinal direction of the vehicle, and
wherein an axial extension of the power train in a longitudinal direction of the vehicle, from the connection between the propeller shaft and the least one drive shaft, is confined to only a common axial extension of the propeller shaft and the transmission in the longitudinal direction of the vehicle.
