A drive is the electronic device that harnesses and regulates the electrical energy sent to the engine. The drive feeds electrical power into the motor in varying amounts and at various frequencies, thereby indirectly managing the motor’s velocity and torque.
So the the majority of economical choice will be a Three Phase Induction motor accompanied by a BLDC motor. I’d 
suggest BLDC ( because of its huge market penetration in recent times,ease of Electric Drive Motor availability and easier electronics/control ) or PMSM (Long term magnet synchronous motors )
