A plate-link chain for a motor vehicle drive system including conical pulleys. The chain includes a number of link plates hingedly connected with each other by rocker members. The rocker members extend transversely to the longitudinal direction of the plate-link chain and are situated in openings in the link plates. The rocker members have end faces for frictional contact with conical surfaces of disks of a belt-driven conical-pulley transmission, and the rocker member end faces are configured so that contact between the rocker member end faces and the conical surfaces of the disks takes place in the upper region of the end faces, relative to the height direction of the rocker members.
