Honda’s Fastport micromobility venture to debut

Honda announced the establishment of Fastport, a new B2B business dedicated to transforming the last-mile delivery industry with micromobility solutions. The new venture from the Honda New Business Innovation Lab in Torrance, Calif., will make its global debut at Eurobike, June 25-29, 2025 in Frankfurt, Germany, where it will unveil its first product, the zero-emission Fastport eQuad prototype.

The eQuad all-electric quadricycle delivery vehicle is designed to help address urban congestion and rising consumer demand for faster, more frequent deliveries. Because it is designed for use in bike lanes, the vehicle allows users to reduce traffic congestion and navigate urban areas more efficiently, Honda noted.

“The Fastport team has worked tirelessly to create the Fastport eQuad, a zero-emission alternative to delivery vans that solves the challenge of last-mile urban logistics by meeting the needs of urban residents expecting on-demand deliveries of packages, groceries and other items,” said Jose Wyszogrod, general manager and founding member of Fastport.

Power for the eQuad is provided by Honda Mobile Power Pack (MPP) swappable, rechargeable batteries and software-defined vehicle (SDV) features. Battery power and the pedal-by-wire pedal-assist powertrain enable a smooth, silent riding experience with zero carbon emissions. A regenerative braking system captures and reuses energy to boost efficiency, while automatic parking brakes enhance safety.

The modular design of the eQuad allows for customization in vehicle length to cater to a range of uses, including parcel, grocery and small package deliveries. The vehicle is available with a canopy with UV coating and a ceramic tint option, along with a ventilation fan and full-frontal enclosure. Large and small vehicle and cargo box container sizes can be tailored to meet regional customer needs in North American and European markets.

Fastport’s Fleet-as-a-Service (FaaS) model offers a comprehensive solution with software-defined platform features, including swappable batteries, cargo containers, service and maintenance plans, along with AI-powered dashboards with real-time insights that enhance driver and fleet-management operations, Honda explained. Premium connectivity and over-the-air software updates enable secure, high-performance access to cloud-based services.

Fastport is currently engaging with major logistics and delivery companies in North America and Europe for pilot test programs ahead of the production launch next year.

First-edition deliveries of the eQuad from the Honda Performance Manufacturing Center in Ohio are projected to begin in late 2025, with general mass production in the summer of 2026.
