1. An axle drive for a vehicle comprising at least one drivable vehicle axle oriented transversely to a longitudinal direction of the vehicle, said axle drive comprising
a drive shaft that extends in parallel with the longitudinal direction of the vehicle and that is configured to receive drive power from an electric motor at an input section and to output said drive power at an output section;
a driven shaft that extends offset from the drive shaft and in parallel with the longitudinal direction of the vehicle between a first end and a second end opposite thereto and that is configured to receive drive power from the output section of the drive shaft at an input section and to output said drive power to the vehicle axle via a bevel gear arranged at the first end; and
a brake having a brake disk that is arranged at the second end of the driven shaft and that is arranged between the input section of the drive shaft and the input section of the driven shaft with respect to the longitudinal direction of the vehicle;
wherein a diameter of the brake disk is at least as large as the offset between the drive shaft and the driven shaft.
