Honda is taking a swing at urban micromobility with the launch of Fastport, a new electric delivery vehicle venture aiming to reshape how packages get dropped off in congested cities. The global debut is set for later this month at the Eurobike trade show in Frankfurt, Germany, where the automaker will unveil the Fastport eQuad, a zero-emission quadricycle designed for bike lanes.
Think of it as a tiny, quiet, battery-powered delivery van that can scoot through city streets and bike paths without choking up traffic—or the air.
Developed by the Honda New Business Innovation Lab in Torrance, the Fastport eQuad is built for last-mile logistics in dense urban areas. With a sleek, modular design and swappable battery packs, the eQuad is being pitched as an eco-friendly alternative to larger delivery trucks that often idle on curbs and clog narrow streets.
“Last-mile delivery is one of the most costly and complex parts of the supply chain,” said Jose Wyszogrod, general manager of Fastport. “The eQuad was designed from the ground up to meet the realities of urban delivery while offering a sustainable, efficient, and safer ride.”
The eQuad is no slouch on specs. It features a pedal-assist drivetrain, regenerative braking, automatic parking brakes, and a rider canopy with UV protection and ventilation. It can carry up to 650 pounds, reach speeds of 12 mph, and travel up to 23 miles on a charge—numbers that, while modest, match the tight, short-range needs of city delivery services.
Two versions are planned—“large” and “small”—with differing dimensions and cargo capacity. The vehicle is also designed to be customizable in length, depending on delivery needs, whether it’s groceries, parcels, or takeout.
Perhaps most importantly for Honda, the eQuad will be built in the U.S. The automaker plans to produce it at its Performance Manufacturing Center in Ohio—the same plant known for hand-assembling Acura supercars and Honda’s fuel cell vehicles. First deliveries are expected in late 2025, with broader rollout in summer 2026.
Fastport’s business model also extends beyond vehicles. It includes a software-defined “Fleet-as-a-Service” platform offering real-time fleet tracking, swappable cargo containers, predictive maintenance, and AI-driven analytics. Over-the-air software updates will keep the platform evolving over time.
Pilot programs are already underway with logistics companies in North America and Europe. Honda isn’t naming names yet, but says the feedback has been promising.
For Honda, Fastport is more than a business experiment. It marks a strategic push into the fast-growing micromobility space—where e-bikes, scooters, and light EVs are increasingly seen as tools for navigating and decarbonizing the urban landscape.
And with the eQuad’s ability to use bike lanes, companies could bypass gridlock entirely.
“Cities are changing,” Wyszogrod said. “We believe Fastport can help them work better.”
