Honda’s Electric Fastport eQuad May Revolutionize Last-Mile Delivery

On June 17, 2025, Honda announced the launch of Fastport, a new B2B venture set to transform last-mile delivery with cutting-edge, all-electric micromobility solutions. This marks a major strategic move for Honda, targeting the growing demand for sustainable, urban logistics with its first product, the Fastport eQuad—a compact, zero-emission quadricycle built specifically for efficient, reliable deliveries in crowded city environments.

Making its global debut at Eurobike 2025 in Frankfurt (June 25–29), the Fastport eQuad is engineered for use in bike lanes* and urban corridors. Designed around Honda’s Mobile Power Pack (MPP) swappable battery technology and software-defined vehicle (SDV) architecture, the eQuad offers a silent, low-maintenance delivery experience with seamless integration into logistics fleets. Its pedal-by-wire assist, regenerative braking, and modular cargo design underscore Honda’s focus on energy efficiency and operational versatility.

Fastport isn’t just a vehicle—it’s a full ecosystem. With the introduction of its Fleet-as-a-Service (FaaS) platform, Honda is offering a comprehensive delivery solution including vehicle subscription plans, software management, cargo customization, and AI-powered fleet dashboards. These real-time insights will help delivery operators optimize routes, manage driver safety, and reduce costs—offering a meaningful alternative to combustion-based fleets.

“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. “Drawing from the deep knowledge of Honda design and engineering talent in the U.S., the Fastport eQuad is a testament to the commitment of Honda to advancing a more sustainable future through innovative mobility solutions.”

To meet regional needs across North America and Europe, Fastport will provide modular vehicle sizes and cargo containers, capable of handling everything from parcels to groceries. The eQuad’s enclosed cabin, UV-coated canopy, and advanced comfort features ensure drivers remain safe and comfortable, even in adverse weather conditions.

Production of the eQuad will take place at Honda’s Performance Manufacturing Center (PMC) in Ohio. This signals Honda’s commitment to domestic innovation, blending high-performance manufacturing with a growing focus on low-emission, high-efficiency transport.

Born from Honda’s New Business Innovation Lab in Torrance, California, Fastport exemplifies co-creation in action—developed in partnership with major logistics players to solve real-world delivery challenges. With pilot programs already underway, Fastport is poised to make a significant impact by late 2025, with mass production set for summer 2026.

Attendees of Eurobike 2025 can explore Fastport’s complete micromobility ecosystem at Hall 8, Booth F16 in Messe Frankfurt. For press inquiries or to schedule meetings, contact: fastport@na.honda.com.

EVinfo.net’s Take: Electric Micromobility is a Perfect Last-Mile Delivery Solution

The inefficient use of large gas-powered trucks in big cities for last-mile delivery has translated to large electric trucks. While the transition from gas to electric trucks has many cost-saving and environmental benefits, the use of electric micromobility for last-mile delivery in big cities is even more cost-effective and environmentally friendly. So EVinfo.net is very grateful to Honda for its forward-thinking leadership in this regard.

As cities around the world grow more crowded and congested, one of the thorniest challenges in urban logistics is “the last mile”—the final leg of a product’s journey from a distribution hub to the customer’s doorstep. Traditionally handled by vans and trucks, last-mile delivery is now facing mounting pressures: rising fuel costs, stricter emissions regulations, growing e-commerce demand, and worsening urban traffic. That’s where electric micromobility comes in—and why it’s becoming a game-changer for cities worldwide.

Electric micromobility refers to compact, battery-powered vehicles such as e-bikes, e-scooters, and electric quadricycles like Honda’s new Fastport eQuad. These vehicles offer a cleaner, quieter, and more efficient alternative to vans and trucks, especially in dense urban environments where speed and maneuverability matter most. Unlike traditional delivery vans, electric micromobility vehicles can access bike lanes*, avoid gridlock, and park almost anywhere. This flexibility translates into faster deliveries, lower operational costs, and a dramatically reduced carbon footprint.

The benefits go beyond efficiency. Micromobility vehicles are right-sized for urban deliveries—most packages don’t require a cargo van to be transported. An eQuad or cargo e-bike can handle groceries, parcels, and meal deliveries just as well, while taking up less space on the road and reducing wear on city infrastructure. With growing public concern around urban air quality and noise, zero-emission vehicles are also increasingly welcomed by city governments and residents alike.

Moreover, the tech integration in today’s electric micromobility platforms—like GPS tracking, regenerative braking, swappable batteries, and real-time fleet management software—offers businesses greater visibility and control. Whether it’s tracking delivery times, optimizing routes, or monitoring battery usage, micromobility allows for a smarter and more sustainable logistics system.

In short, electric micromobility is tailor-made for the modern city: compact, clean, quiet, and connected. As the demand for faster, greener delivery grows, expect to see more logistics fleets trading trucks for electric quads and bikes—bringing new energy to the last mile.

A Big Win for America’s Economy and Jobs

Building the Fastport eQuad in Ohio is a strategic win for America’s economy and workforce. By producing this next-generation electric micromobility vehicle at Honda’s Performance Manufacturing Center in Ohio, the company is not only investing in domestic innovation but also creating high-quality, future-facing jobs in advanced manufacturing. This move supports local supply chains, leverages American engineering talent, and helps establish the U.S. as a leader in sustainable transportation technologies. It also signals a commitment to revitalizing industrial regions with clean-tech solutions, ensuring that American workers are at the forefront of the global shift toward zero-emission urban mobility. Clean energy jobs and production are vital to America’s economy and must be supported.
