Honda today announced the establishment of Fastport, a new B2B business dedicated to providing the last-mile delivery industry with micromobility solutions.
Fastport will make its global debut at Eurobike in Frankfurt, Germany, where it will unveil its first product, the zero-emission Fastport eQuad prototype, an all-electric quadricycle delivery vehicle designed for use in bike lanes.
Powered by Honda Mobile Power Pack (MPP) swappable batteries and software-defined vehicle (SDV) features, the Fastport eQuad should help address urban congestion and rising consumer demand for faster, more frequent deliveries.
Fastport enables Honda to enter a new micromobility market in North America and Europe with first edition vehicle deliveries projected to begin in late 2025 and general mass production in the summer of 2026.
The eQuad features numerous technologies including a regenerative braking system that captures and reuses energy to boost efficiency, as well as automatic parking brakes for enhanced safety. It also has a canopy with UV coating and a ceramic tint option, along with a ventilation fan and full-frontal enclosure.
Fastport will offer large and small vehicle and cargo box container sizes, tailored to meet regional customer needs in North American and European markets. 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 Fastport eQuad will be produced at the Honda Performance Manufacturing Center (PMC) in Ohio, a small volume, specialty manufacturing facility using domestic and global parts. Since opening in 2016, the PMC has been responsible for production of the Acura NSX supercar, multiple Acura PMC Edition vehicles, and the CR-V e:FCEV fuel cell electric vehicle, as well as Honda Performance Development race cars. This makes the PMC and its expert production technicians uniquely suited to production of micromobility vehicles, which require special assembly processes.
