Drive component for a motor vehicle, and motor vehicle

A drive component for a motor vehicle, comprising:

• at least one receiving space for structural elements of the drive component, with at least one first wall that delimits the receiving space at least partially, by way of which at least one collecting region for collecting a lubricant for lubricating the structural elements is delimited at least partially;
• at least one second wall, which is arranged on a side of the first wall that faces away from the collecting region and which is spaced apart from the first wall at least in a partial region, so that, between the walls, an intermediate space that is delimited at least partially by the walls is formed, wherein, for setting a heat transfer coefficient between the walls, a liquid can be introduced into the intermediate space and can be discharged out of the intermediate space;
• at least one reservoir, which is in fluidic connection with the intermediate space, for taking up the liquid;
• and
• at least one displacement element, which can be moved at least partially into the reservoir in order to thereby bring about a displacement of at least a part of the liquid out of the reservoir into the intermediate space,
• wherein both the intermediate space and the reservoir are separated from both the receiving space and the collecting region by the first wall.
