The answer is simple. Yes. In this question it is important to keep in mind that there are a lot of different definitions for the word drive. Not all drives are suitable for all electric motors, but every electric motor could have a drive. Some definitions even suggests that the motor is actually a part of a drive. In the parts above 1.5.1 and 5.1.2 the main functions which fulfill the definition of a drive are explained. The baseline is that whenever an electric motor requires some form of control, in either torque or speed, the control is achieved by the use of drives.
