In recent years, studies aiming to use different motor types for traction purpose, such as in electric vehicles, have become increasingly widespread. Among these motor types, permanent magnet assisted synchronous reluctance motor (PMa-SynRM) has become in-creasingly preferred in commercially electric vehicles nowadays. This study addresses the design and control of a PMa-SynRM, also the comparison with the synchronous reluc-tance motor (SynRM). The motor design process is carried out using the finite element method in Ansys-Maxwell environment. A series of a simulation studies is conducted in the MATLAB/Simulink environment for controlling the obtained motor designed in An-sys-Maxwell. The field-oriented control (FOC) approach is chosen for precise speed con-trol. As a result of the simulation studies, it is observed that the designed motor tracks the reference with minimal error under various load conditions within a closed-loop system. Also, this paper investigates how the PM implementation affects the machine perfor-mance comparing to SynRMs. In addition, such a study takes into account that the de-sign of machines involves always several constraints, including geometry, materials, sup-ply limits, and performance constraints.
