The steer-by-wire (SBW) system requires the use of enhanced fuel economy, assist action given two motor drives, the first for the mechanical steering system and the second for the torque feedback to the steering wheel. An interior permanent magnet (IPM) synchronous motor is used for the steering actuator whereas a fractional-slot surface-mounted permanent magnet (SPM) synchronous motor is used for the torque feedback.
